LEE GIRLS WIN AA CROWN

Unbeaten R.E. Lee-Staunton had little trouble disposing of Loudoun Valley 54-31 on Saturday to claim the Group AA girls' basketball title at the Salem Civic Center.

Jenni Corbin led a balanced Lee attack with 16 points and Kelly Simmons scored 14 points and grabbed 13 rebounds. Loudoun Valley was paced by Cameron Arndt with eight points. Guard Stacey Simms dealt out seven assists, giving her 20 for the two-game tournament.
