When it comes to high school basketball in the Coastal Empire, this is the time of year that teams want to have the ball bouncing in the win column. The old saying goes, Win and stay in! Twelve Savannah, Georgia High School Association teams, did that over two days. They won, so they moved on to the GHSA Sweet Sixteen.
