After being rained out on the opening day of the 4A Regional Tournament on Thursday, the Lady Jacks faced the number one seed from the 7-4A, the Nashville Lady Scrappers on Friday in Nashville, who also happened to be the hosting school for the Tournament. It was the Lady Jacks’ first time in the Regional Tourney since 2019.
