In high school basketball, it's hard to beat a good team three times during the season, and unfortunately for the White County Warriors that proved to be true Tuesday night in the Region 7-AAA championship game.

Last week in Macon, Devin Sullens and Sidney Sullens climbed to the highest level in high school wrestling by winning a state championship. Devin Sullens, a senior, capped off his prep career by winning the 220-pound title in the Class AAA tournament, while his younger sister, Sidney, a junior, captured the 142-pound title in the Girl's All-Classification tournament. The Sullens' siblings became only the second brother and sister to win a state title in the same year. (Photos/Mark Turner and WCHS Athletics)
