Coach's Corner
"We did a better job of taking care of the basketball in the second half, with just four turnovers. We got phenomenal contributions from Peyton, Maddie, Jamya, and Christen. Nylaa did things late in the third quarter that are not seen in the stats sheet. It was an unbelievable effort by the players and a good team win," said Head Coach Tory Wooley.
 
Turning Point
A strong third quarter by the visiting Grizzlies created separation on the scoreboard. After leading 31-27 at halftime, GGC scored 27 points during the pivotal 10-minute period to take a 58-50 advantage.
