Chiefs Beat Big Reds in Overtime Thriller

Game Date
Jan 26, 2022
Score
: 16
MILAN MIDDLE SCHOOL: 15

What a game as the Lady Chiefs who trailed the entire game, shut the Big Reds out in the 4th quarter to send the game to overtime. 

Milan took the lead in the first quarter going up 6--4. Ava Bossick and Addison McFadden each had a basket for the Chiefs. We gave up two more baskets early in the second, McFadden adding a basket of her own, kept the Big Reds lead at 4 going into half time. The 3rd quarter our defense stepped up in some big ways. We started double teaming their guard and were able to shut her out completely. Had some nice steals and successfully ran an inbound play for a big basket underneath. Bossick connected on a layup from Ava Russo which cut the game to two. (Bossick added 4 points in the third quarter). As we headed into the 4th quarter, down two, the girls came together and really played the best I've seen them. The Big Reds had multiple breakaways that we stopped due to hustle. We had big rebounds and had a couple attempts early on to tie it, but missed some shots in the paint. Ava Russo though tied it up on her only basket of the night, which proved to be the biggest. Another key stop and the 4th quarter ended in a tie. To overtime we went. 

Our first overtime showdown did not disappoint. Addison McFadden ramped up her defense and came up with two huge steals on Milan's first 2 possessions, both leading to break away layups in which she connected giving us a quick 4 point lead. It was all we needed to spark the energy as the team followed suit making big play after big play on the defensive side of the ball. With a 16-12 lead, Milan hit a three with 2 seconds left, but the clock ran out and Huron escaped 16-15 winners. 

The improvements the girls have made from game one, a week ago, to today, is tremendous. They come to work every day eager to get better and every single one is improving in their own way.
