PENN LAIRD - It took an overtime, but Waynesboro walked away with the Region III championship on Saturday in its 55-52 win over Robert E. Lee.  The game started with the Leemen in control. Lee caught an early lead with its quick guards cutting off Waynesboro passes. The Leemen played a man defense with a trap at the top of the key, giving the Little Giants problems moving the ball around. Waynesboro went into the second quarter down by four, but not for long.

The rivalry between Waynesboro and R.E. Lee continues to fester, but not in the Little Giants’ backyard. The atmosphere Friday at the Waynesboro boys basketball practice painted a different picture.

Really, it doesn’t mean anything.

Lee played a man-to-man defense the entire game, which kept Rustburg from driving to the basket.

There’s something in the water.  Can’t quite put a finger on it, but Waynesboro’s boys and girls basketball teams have drunk from the same fountains.  It permeates the halls of Little Giant heaven and wraps itself around the two teams like a warm blanket.

GREENVILLE A battle-  Nah, battles are for board games and World of Warcraft addicts.
