Amanda Lambert, a junior guard on the Sandy Creek

girls basketball team, died unexpectedly Friday morning. The

Patriots cancelled their games against Riverdale on Friday and

McIntosh on Saturday. Counselors were available for students

at Sandy Creek on Friday and Monday during school. Funeral

services were held at Flat Creek Baptist Church on Monday

morning.

While the students and faculty mourn the loss of Amanda,

Sandy Creek will play the remainder of their games this season.

However, they most likely will not reschedule the games from this

past weekend. Sandy Creek will close out the regular season on

Friday at Starr's Mill. Sandy Creek is also set to host the AAA

basketball tournament beginning next Tuesday.
