Liberty County will play Trenton for the state championship on Wednesday.

It was the second-ever trip to the Final Four for the Lady Chiefs, falling to Trenton last season in the state final.

Two starters, Womack and Brooks, will graduate next week, but much of the team will return next season, looking for redemption and a third chance in the Final Four.
