The Lady Bears rallied in the second half to pick up a onepoint win over Bayside Academy to win the area tournament championship.

Tenera Pressley drained a basket with .10 seconds remaining to seal the victory for the Bears. Collins had 12 points to lead the Bears in scoring while Ashley Snow added nine.

"We played fairly well," Leroy coach Connie Snow said. "We trailed from after halftime all the way to the last few seconds of the game. But we were able to pull through at the end with a big basket and a steal," he said.

Leroy (17-9) will host Luverne in a state sub-regional game Thursday night at 7.
