“It was a really entertaining game for the fans,” coach Jon Ginn said. “”There were probably eight or nine lead changes in the first half. Both teams were playing well and both teams had trouble stopping the other team from scoring. We got down by as many as seven and Meri Grace hit three 3-points in a row to put us up by two. Shan Culpepper hit some big free throws down the stretch and we got some big stops on defense to hold them off.”
Lauren Graves led East Webster with 17 points while Gregg had 14 points. Whitney Winter and Shameriah Culpepper each hadn’t nine points while Shan Culpepper added eight points.
