Jefferson’s Thanksgiving holiday celebration nearly included an upset of Winder-Barrow and UConn signee Olivia Nelson-Ododa. But the Bulldoggs staved off the loss behind the play of another one of its stars.

Latrice Perkins scored six of Winder-Barrow’s 10 points in overtime as the Bulldoggs — ranked No. 2 in Class 6A in some polls — pulled away for a 63-55 win in the championship of the Tabos Tip-off Classic Tuesday. Perkins, who scored her 1,000th-career point in the win, finished with 18 points.
