“We came out this game with a lot more intensity than we did the first two,” coach Miller began. “We got bunch of easy baskets because our defense led to our offense.”
In the third period the Lady Jackets looked like a different team in the beginning of the quarter. Williamsburg hit two threes to try and get back in the game.
Despite the Lady Jackets efforts Taylor Brock had two threes and a jump shot in four trips. At the end of three periods the score was 62-37
In the fourth quarter the Lady Maroons allowed the Williamsburg to comeback within 17. The final score for the quarter was 69-52
