With West Forsyth girls’ basketball’s state playoff chances on the line, Jenna Staiti would not let the Lady Wolverines lose. The star senior center scored 13 of her game-high 26 points in the fourth quarter to help West fend off Habersham Central in a 44-36 victory Wednesday in the quarterfinals of the Region 6-AAAAAA Tournament at Lambert High School. In doing so, the Lady Wolverines (19-6) earned their third straight state playoff berth, extending the longest streak in program history.
