The varsity girls' basketball team pulled out a tough 45-34 victory over JFK last night. The girls were in complete control in the first half as they took a 17-point lead into the locker room. Unfortunately, JFK went on a huge run, and the Griffs saw their lead go from 17 points down to 1 point. The team displayed their toughness and resilience as they put the clamps on defensively and hit some timely shots. Dani Oakley hit two HUGE three pointers to give the girls a 7-point lead going into the 4th quarter. The lead would drop to 3 points, but that was as close as JFK would get. Bella Sullivan hit a runner, Kelcie Illig attacked the paint and finished, Aubrey Roy had a strong post move and was fouled, and Leah Franklin had a big offensive rebound and out back. Scorers on the night were:
Dani Oakley- 13 points
Bella Sullivan- 12 points
Kelcie Illig- 6 points
Aubrey Roy- 6 points
Leah Franklin- 6 points
