After the game, the Lady Devils had to wait at Swain Memorial Stadium to hear the results of the Highlands/Murphy game. Highlands won the game putting Swain and Murphy in a tie for second place. A coin was tossed to determine who would host the tiebreaker game. Murphy won the toss, so the Lady Devils will be traveling to Murphy High School on Friday at 4 p.m. to determine second place and who will go on to the playoffs. The Lady Devils would love to have a big Swain crowd at the game to support them.
