Friday was another lively one at the Georgia High School Association basketball championships in Macon.

Two teams found their way back in the winner’s circle. The Westlake girls won their fourth straight title and the Wheeler boys won their second in a row. Cross Creek became the only team to come back from the Macon Coliseum with a boys and girls championship, the first for each program.

Here are the highlights from the third day.
