11/29/2012
- Chillicothe 47, Savannah 39
at Savannah Tournament
Chillicothe's Junior
Forward Maggie Graves turned in a double-double with 21 points
and 15 rebounds (according to C-T Sports Editor Paul Sturm) to
lead the Lady Hornets to an appearance in the Savannah
Tournament Title Game.
It was a fairly slow start
to the basketball game with the first points coming off free
throws 2:38 into the game, but Chillicothe made up for it with
an exciting finish to beat Savannah 47-39 and advance to the
Savannah Tournament Championship.
The Lady Hornets trailed but stayed with in striking distance
for most of the 2nd and third quarters, down by 7 at half and
down by 3 heading into the fourth quarter. After tying the
game in the fourth, Chillicothe turned in back to back three
point plays thanks to Savannah fouls
The Lady Savages closed the gap to two points twice,
but Chillicothe scored the final seven points in the game, all
free throws. The Lady Hornets went 10 of 11 in fourth quarter
free throws to help win the game.
