Georgia Head Coach Andy Landers substituted freely throughout the first-half, as did Coach Freeman-Jackson for Alabama State. Eight of the nine Georgia players that hit the floor scored. Phillips, Ashley Houts and Angel Robinson are all former Georgia H.S. stars and each played in the McDonald’s All-American Game; led the Lady Bulldogs with 11, 11 and 8 points respectively as Georgia took a 49-22 lead into the half.
