The night brought two games with our Little Lady Devils playing UE at the same time. The gym was jamming!! Good help defense shut down the JC offense. Brandy Foster and Lexi Baxter were the enforcers inside, Brandy having many clean blocks by keeping her arms up on the shot. Maddie Staiger and Megan Plahanski did a great job setting up the offense, and our wing players Heller, Thatcher, Heath, and Faith did a great job looking inside. Dominique Grasso had the most thrilling shot from 10 ft. that went in and out. Half time score was CF - 13 JC - 6. JC scored the first basket in the second half but the Devils quickly scored two more baskets to push the lead to 9 points. JC finished the game in full court but Maddie Staiger did a nice job breaking the press and setting up the offense.
