The Yellow Jackets struggled with the radar in Glenville missing early targets in the first half fighting to pull within seven points at the intermission, then Gilmer County Girls Basketball burned the perimeter nets five times in the third period boosting the momentum crushing Moorefield’s state aspirations in a 75-48 victory last Wednesday during the Class A Region II Championship earning a ticket to the state tournament.
“We cut that lead down and battled right back where we wanted to be at the end of the first half and we thought we had some momentum coming into the third quarter, then No. 14 [Grace Wellings] stepped up and hit those threes. They went on that run and it put us down. She was three or four feet behind the line sinking threes. We saw a few shooting on film, but nothing like that. She stepped up big for them with 21 points. We kept battling and were fighting back,” Moorefield Girls Basketball coach Paul Keplinger commented.
