PREVIEW: No. 2 Darton, No. 1 Georgia Highlands women clash today for top spot in Region XVII

Going into today’s huge showdown with region No. 1 Georgia Highlands, Darton State College women’s coach Lea Henry, left, has led the Lady Cavs to a 16-2 record, including six straight wins and 14 victories in their last 15 games. After last year’s record-breaking season in Americus as coach of the South Georgia Tech women’s team, Brandan Harrell, a Donalsonville native, bolted to start a new program at Georgia Highlands — but little did anyone know how much success the Lady Chargers (15-1) would have right away.
