Westside High girls clinch upstate title, set for state championship March 7 in Florence; community plans send-off

Speaker 1, a meeting participant, announced that the Westside High School girls basketball team are "upstate champs" and that the state championship is scheduled for March 7 in Florence at 2 p.m.

Speaker 2 asked whether the state championship game would be livestreamed. Speaker 1 said they were "not sure" and offered to "reach out to Mr. West" to find out. Speaker 3 recounted attending the prior game, saying, "I drove all the way to Florence, got there, and they were behind by 18... With 22 seconds left on the clock, they got it again by 1 and won the game." Speaker 3 also praised Coach Hood and the coaching staff.

Logistics briefly discussed included a school pep rally and a planned send-off. Speaker 1 described a send-off plan: the pep rally would start at the school and move around the area; Speaker 1 said she thought the team would be "leaving around 03:00 on Thursday because they play at 2," though that timing was expressed with uncertainty.

Speaker 3 also noted Westside boys teams were advancing (the transcript states North Augusta as the girls— opponent and separately notes boys— competition). A remark was recorded that the football team defeated South Point.

No formal athletic sanctioning, school approvals, travel authorizations, or funding details were recorded in the transcript.
