COLD SPRINGS — Brody Peppers scored 18 points, Seth Williams (11) and Tanner Kilgo (10) reached double figures as well, and Cold Springs’ varsity boys picked up a 55-38 win over Winston County on Tuesday night to advance to the championship game of the Class 2A, Area 13 Tournament.

The Eagles, who led 29-15 at halftime, played tenacious defense throughout the contest, hit a handful of 3-point shots and dominated the paint down the stretch en route to beating the Yellow Jackets for a third time this season.

“We struggled in the first half getting the ball inside, which is a big part of our game,” Peppers said. “Luckily, we didn’t miss a lot of shots from 3. We’ve been working on getting back in transition and hitting the low post, and I felt like we did just that in the second half — although we did get sloppy toward the end of the game. We let Winston County get some easy buckets, and we need to focus on ending strong no matter the score. But I’m excited to play Addison this Friday. They are a very good team.”

Cody Bales and John Mark Smith added seven points apiece for the Eagles, who improved to 20-8 overall. Seth Ingram rounded out the scoring with two.

Cold Springs will host Addison, which beat Falkville, on Friday at 6 p.m.

“Both the coaching staff and players prepared very well for tonight’s game,” Tucker Gambrill said. “We were challenged to do the little things and not worry about anything else, and we successfully did so. Definitely good we got all of our guys rotated in so they could get adjusted to the speed of things.”
