File / Tallapoosa Publishers Wetumpka head coach Jermel Bell and the Lady Indians are into Sweet 16.

Basketball is sweeter in the postseason and for the Wetumpka Indians, their postseason journey just got sweeter Wednesday as they toppled Helena’s Huskies for a crucial sub-region win.

When the first three-pointer splashed and the Wetumpka jumped into a groove, it was only the matter of maintaining their torrid pace in the 54-48 victory. The victory was the first sub-region win in Jermel Bell’s tenure at Wetumpka, one he couldn’t hold in emotionally.
