The Pike County Lady Bulldogs continued area play on Friday night in Brundidge. Their hopes of winning the regular season area championship was boosted when they knocked off Providence Christian 47-38.  They are now in a tie for first place with Providence and depending on the results of the game between Houston Academy and Wicksburg, Houston Academy may force a three-way tie.
