The Cherokee High School ladies' basketball team ends the 2012-13 season with an impressive 29-2 record.
The Cherokee High School Lady Warriors basketball team's impressive run of 23 consecutive victories was snapped on Tuesday night in the GHSA Class AAAAAA Girls State Basketball Tournament by a juggernaut Norcross squad expected to contend for the state title.
