As Aidan Jarman goes, so to the Dadeville Bearcats.
That was certainly the case in Dadeville’s 46-44 state sectional win over Billings.
Billings jumped out to a 16-10 lead after one quarter and held Jarman to just two first-quarter points.
From that point, Jarman went to work. He scored 10 points in the second quarter to power Dadeville’s 15-11 advantage in the frame and cut Billings’ lead to two at 27-25. In the third quarter, Jarman scored all 12 of Dadeville’s points while Billings scored nine to give the Bearcats a 37-36 lead after three quarters. The Bearcats held off Billings in the fourth quarter to secure the 46-44 win.
