Adena Closes Win at Unioto With Clutch Free Throws

Presented By Atomic Speedway

The Lady Warriors of Adena avenged their lone SVC basketball loss of the season in a 56-48 win at Unioto Thursday, to hang-on to sole possession of first place.

While Adena Coach Andrew Day says they have been a poor foul shooting team throughout the season, it was the charity stripe that helped put the game into the win column. The Lady Warriors were 14/21 for the game and made 9 of their last 10 attempts.

The game was close through the first three quarters with a 10-10 first quarter. Adena’s biggest first half lead of 20-16 was closed to 22-21 at halftime.

The two-shade blue built a 32-25 lead with 3:13 remaining in the third quarter, only to see Unioto storm back to close the score to 35-33 at the end of the period.

But Adena’s Emma Garrison, who led all players with 27 points, hit back-to-back three pointers for a 41-33 lead that was followed by a Unioto timeout with 7:15 left in the game.

The Lady Shermans went on a 5-0 run and got to within 41-38 and after falling behind 49-40, rallied one last time with a 7-0 run to close the gap to 49-47 on an Alexis Betts three pointer with 2:57 left. But things turned the wrong direction for Unioto when they missed an inside shot attempt that was followed with Avery Miller fouling out with under three minutes to play.

Less than one minute later with Adena up 50-48, “Garrison and Company” pulled away to close on a 6-0 run for the 56-48 victory.
