Brantley held a slim 8-6 lead at the end of the first quarter, but in the second the Lady Indians went on a run as they outscored the Herons 20-6. That gave VHS a 26-14 lead at halftime.
Vidalia kept it up in the third quarter, pushing their lead to 44-18. In the fourth with all of the VHS substitutes in, the Herons did make a run, but VHS took the win 50-33.
