The Lady Wildcats will now have homecourt advantage heading into the playoffs, and Dillon can record its first perfect regular season with wins over Loris and Waccamaw this week.
Mullins, 6-2 in Region 8-2A, will likely take second this week if it wins at least one of its two remaining games. Marion is in third at 3-4, and Waccamaw is currently in fourth place.
Dillon was scheduled to travel to Loris on Monday night and was scheduled to travel to Waccamaw on Wednesday to wrap up the regular season.
