THOMASVILLE — Thomas County Central is going to remember Caitlyn Burgess. The Tift County senior lit them up for 36 points Saturday afternoon in Tift County’s 71-57 victory.
The Blue Devils fell in a 44-29 battle to TCC, their second consecutive loss.
Head coach Julie Conner-Johnson said Burgess’ stat line also included eight steals, three rebounds and two assists.

Tift travels to Houston County Tuesday and to Northside (Warner Robins) Friday.
