The Middleton High School (MHS) basketball Tigers played its first regional game at home against the South Fulton High School (SFHS) Red Devils on Saturday, March 1, 2025. It was a fast-paced game from the moment it started with almost three minutes passing before SFHS scored putting the first two points on the board.

MHS held its position as the buzzer sounded at halftime leaving a score of 26-21. In the third quarter, SFHS tried to close the gap in the score. The Red Devils were not able to handle MHS’ defense, which kept them away from the net to score and its offense, which continued adding points to the board.
