Lady Lions Roar Back vs Amelia

The Varsity Lady Lions Basketball Team pulled off a stunning come-from-behind victory last night @ Amelia 37-36. After trailing by double-figures in the 4th quarter the girls refused to give up and clawed back using the half-court trapping defense to win the critical 4th quarter 16-4 to cap off the 1 point win. The comeback was fueled defensively by by seniors Courtney Grogan, Sarah Shoemaker, and Mikaela Rupp and Freshman Tina Lawrence who applied the pressure causing multiple turnovers and tie-ups. Josie Buckingham scored a game-high 14 points including 8 in the final period to spark the Lions offensively. Sarah Shoemaker chipped in 11 points while Courtney Grogan added two clutch jumpers in the 2nd Half. It was an exciting come-back and a great division win for the Lady Lions who play next at home Monday vs Norwood.
