GRUNDY - Alexis Vance's double-double of 22 points and 11 rebounds and a 13-point, 13-board effort from Kara Goodman helped Twin Valley earn a
come-from-behind in Friday's nightcap.
The Lady Panthers were forced to shoot from the perimeter in the first half and hit just 2-of-17 from outside the paint and trailed 19-17 at
halftime.
A few conversions and defensive pressure turned things around in the second half.
"In the first half they stayed in that zone and gave us our shots and we just didn't hit them," first-year Twin Valley coach Tommy Crigger said. "That's our game, we hit our shots, we go pressure the ball and we get up the court. When your shots aren't going in that affects your whole game."
Autumn Sperry scored 16 points and Emily Lane added 11 for the Lady Wave. Sperry's third 3 of the game tied the score at 33-33 with 6:12
remaining. A Lakin Keene steal and feed to Katelyn Jackson for a layup started a 5-0 run and Twin Valley managed to hold on to its lead at the free throw line.
Keene added a huge 3 with 1:14 remaining.
