The Bellwood-Antis Lady Blue Devils get some words of advice from Coach Jim Swaney during a timeout in the Reliance Bank Holiday Basketball Tournament.

The Bellwood-Antis Lady Blue Devil basketball team punched its ticket to the finals of the Reliance Bank Holiday Tournament on Wednesday and in the process earned a return matchup with rival Tyrone.

B-A cruised to a 60-46 win over Central, playing in front almost the entire way.

The Lady Devils improved to 5-1 and will now take on Tyrone Thursday in the tournament championship.

B-A defeated the Lady Eagles 58-38 earlier this month, but both teams were playing without key starters. Tyrone was without leading scorer Kayelin Gibbons while Lydia Worthing, who averaged a double-double last season, was out or the Lady Devils.
