After fouling out on Monday, both Wurrie Njadoe and Uju Chibuogwu bounced back with strong performances along with sophomore Julia Strand.

But the performance of the night was given by junior guard Jazlyn Owens, who seemed to be all over the court. Head Coach Dori Monson recognized her efforts by nominating her the Player of the Game after the lady Scots pulled off the 59-57 upset.

Friday night’s game at 6pm inside the Mount Vernon HS gym will be for 3rd and 4th place, with 3rd place getting a spot in the 2A Regionals and 4th place being knocked out until next season.

Big stakes means there should be a big crowd, so come out early and support the Scots as they attempt to extend their season.
