The Lady Yellow Jackets are now 5-2 on the season and will switch their focus to next week\u2019s Magic City Winter Classic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cReally glad to finish the Classic with a win today,\u201d Williamsburg coach Melissia Douglas said. \u201cWe came out with the right mindset and were ready to play. Part of growing as a team is learning to adjust, and while we didn\u2019t handle the travel yesterday as well as we\u2019d like, we bounced back. Every player showed up with great intensity, and it made a big difference.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs a team we shot 75 percent from the free-throw line,\u201d she added. \u201cI love when our team numbers are high and improving. Hannah Creekmore was awarded the player of the game with her season high of 19 points. She also shot alone 83 percent from the free-throw line. It\u2019s always nice to travel and have an overnight trip. The girls are making memories and having fun.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Williamsburg continued its impressive defensive play, limiting the Lady Rebels to only 12 points in the first half while building a 28-12 lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Lady Yellow Jackets continues to hold on to the lead in the second half and put Boone County away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
