Memorial defeats Aldine Davis in district thriller

This is one of those games that could have gone either way, neither team led by double digits and both stayed within a couple of possessions either way throughout the match-up but the icing on the cake was me receiving a goody-bag as the Lady Mustangs held off the Lady Falcons 37-33. Memorial led after one 7-6 including two from bta and found themselves down 15-13 at the half  as they added another three

Demetria Heard was huge for Davis in the third quarter as she hit a couple of baskets, made a couple of assists and also added at least two steals which was good because Memorial was still dropping threes and stretched lead to 25-16. Their threes were coming from everywhere, Courtney and Kelsey Slattery along with Amy Houser were letting them fly while Amanda McCloskey was solid inside

Jerra King and Daikea Milton hit some big buckets while Raven Brown  and Antoinette Shrepee were solid on both ends and Davis simply kept fighting, especially Nijia Young who was a force under the basket but again, both teams understood what this game was about and they battled till the last buzzer in a game that could have gone either way

The youngest player on the court, Grace Yochum, simply elevated what I think about her game a lot as I was impressed when I saw her earlier, the things she does instinctively means a whole lot more because that's simply something you can't teach and her big plays on both ends were crucial and the Memorial freshman is one you definitely will be hearing about
