South Side girls basketball finishes perfect season with first TSSAA state championship

 

MURFREESBORO – A year after finishing with silver, Brent McNeal and his Jackson South Side girls basketball team had their perfect, golden moment.

South Side beat Livingston Academy 62-52 Saturday at Middle Tennessee State's Murphy Center in the TSSAA BlueCross Girls Basketball State Championships Class 3A title game.

It came a year after the Lady Hawks finished runner-up to Upperman in 2022. South Side hasn't lost a game since, finishing 34-0 this season for its first state championship.

They are the first Tennessee high school girls basketball team to go undefeated since Ensworth went 28-0 and won the Division II-AA title in 2020 and the first public school to go unbeaten since Upperman (37-0) in 2018.
