Lady Giants bow out in thriller
February 8, 2021
It was the story of two quarters Friday night at the Ben Davis girls basketball sectional.
The host Lady Giants used a suffocating defense in the third quarter to turn a 31-19 halftime deficit into a 42-37 lead going into the fourth quarter. Then Roncalli went on a 9-0 run to open the final quarter en route to a 66-58 win that sent the lady Giants home with a 13-8 record.
Senior Natalie Howard and junior Kansas Robinson each scored 13 points in the losing cause. Roncalli went on to win the sectional championship over Perry Meridian on Saturday night.
