CLINTON, Tenn. — For the third time this season, Anderson County and Gibbs needed every ounce of defense, patience and nerve to separate themselves.
Once again, the Lady Mavericks found the final touch — this time with a pair of freshmen leading the way.
Freshman Katie Ahlstedt scored in the 98th minute Thursday night, lifting Anderson County to a 2-1 overtime win over visiting Gibbs in the Region 2-AA championship match.
