South Central Calhoun never trailed after jumping out to a 7-0 lead thanks to a quick start from Riley Batta who knocked down and early 3 and was huge on the glass in the opening minutes of the game. The Titan defense knew they needed to keep AC-GC out of the line and stop them from penetrating and setting up easy shots at the rim or offensive rebounds. The defense was great in the 1st half and forced the Chargers to shoot from the outside. AC-GC didn’t make a 3 in the 1st half and South Central Calhoun won the rebounding battle with 7 different girls pulling down at least two rebounds in the 1st half. The Titans struggled on the offensive end after the quick start though they were sharing the basketball very well along with cutting back door against the aggressive Charger defense. They led 11-6 after the 1st quarter and went up 22-9 late in the 1st half.
AC-GC made a run in the 3rd and cut the Titans lead 33-29 late in the 3rd quarter thanks to 4-3’s. Brielle Korleski knocked down a big 3 to shift momentum back to the Titans and they led by 8 heading to the 4th quarter. Emma Anderson stopped the next Charger rally after they had again trimmed the lead to 4, Anderson read a pass near halfcourt and stole the ball, finishing the play at the rim for a bucket and a free throw. She hit the free throw to make it a 7 point game and AC-GC never challenged again.
The Titans were led by Brielle Korleski with 16 points and 8 rebounds, Riley Batta finished with 11 points and 9 rebounds and Emma Anderson added 9 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists. Kylee Schleisman also had a nice night with 5 rebounds and 4 assists.
