The Forrest Lady Rockets were staring down elimination Friday night at Creekwood in the opening round of the Region 6-AA Tournament before a fourth quarter comeback, capped off by a buzzer beating layup by freshman Laura Mealer gave Chapel Hill a 35-34 win. “We had two plays called, one for zone and one for man (defense) and either way, I thought we were going to score,” Forrest coach Jeremy Jean said. “It was an accumulation from all year long…they fight for each other, they play hard for each other and they made the big plays late in the game and executed really well.”
