“Feed the post”, “Feed the post” was the mantra for the victorious West squad tonight as they continually fed Molly Lockhart down the stretch and she responded with 10 of her 32 points in the final few possessions to led her team to a 103-97 victory.  The West squad had a noticeable size advantage over the Eat team and they took full advantage of it in this game.  The East squad used their perimeter game to be very competitive and actually led 77-75 before the West took control of the game.

 

Molly Lockhart led the victors with 32 points.  Marly Walls and Rayven Peebles added 15 and 11 points respectively.

 

Aniah Griffin led the East team with 20 points including four three point baskets.  Ally Niece also scored 20 points including two three point baskets.  Jaela Johnson, Grace Berger, and Shelby Harmeyer added 14, 13, and 13 points respectively.

This was an excellent day of basketball with a lot of talent and some great entertainment.  Also a special shout out to Nate Bryan for his tireless efforts on twitter and for providing snap shots of the scorebook to provide the individual scoring-great job.
