The Lady Warriors got strong play from senior guard <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='305506' first='Brianna' last='Williams']</strong> who finished with 24 points in the win. Williams led the way with 15 points at the halftime break. Brianna was able to score today from all 3 levels on the floor. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1111435,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/12/eZy-Watermark_16-12-2024_08-49-48-1100PM-1.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1111435" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Junior <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1045454' first='Tamiyah' last='Spillers']</strong> finished with 18 points for the Lady Warriors. <strong>JaNia Griffin </strong>added 13 points in the win.

The Lady Mohawks guard finished with 15 points tonight. Zaniyah really plays aggressive for her small stature on the floor. She plays the game with a fearless attitude at times. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Lady Gators Building for the Future</em></strong>: </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Goose Creek HS Lady Gators lost to SCISA Class 4A member First Baptist here today 63-53. Lady Gators Head Coach Jabari Deas is still smiling though. His squad consist of just 2 seniors. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>8th grader <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='429831' first='Madeline' last='Dates']</strong> already plays well beyond her years with her confidence. Dates and teammate <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='429832' first='Aubrey' last='Downey']</strong> both attend Sedgefield Middle School. Dates came out on fire scoring the first 9 points for the Lady Gators. Madeline would finish the night with 20 points. She connected on several three-pointers while really showing good poise and confidence on the floor for her age.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1111437,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/12/eZy-Watermark_15-12-2024_04-50-32-3150AM.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1111437" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Downey finished the night with 7 pointers while connecting on some mid-range jumpers along the way. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1111479,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/12/eZy-Watermark_16-12-2024_10-42-08-5100PM.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1111479" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='659984' first='Celeste' last='Griffin'] </strong>and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1111510' first='Jada' last='Meeks']</strong> both freshmen saw good minutes tonight. Griffin finished with 6 points. Meeks was able to muster some points around the paint area. The Lady Gators surely won't be a team you want to play late in the season with the more minutes and experience this group gets together playing. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>First Baptist Has Height and Good Guard Play</em></strong>:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1111429,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/12/eZy-Watermark_16-12-2024_08-55-26-4630PM.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1111429" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Lady Hurricanes have a nice front line in<strong> [player_tooltip player_id='451803' first='AVA' last='RUSH'] </strong>and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='387006' first='Dyarri' last='Braddick']</strong> up front.
