That first round of the state tournament you don't know who you're going to play and you have to be prepared."

Six minutes later, Myra Tubb took a cross from Browning to make it 2-0 Fayetteville. Templeton scored twice in the second half, one coming off a corner kick by Vaught, then added another late.
