On Friday, January 14, the Granite Bay High School girls’ basketball team met the Nevada Union High School Miners. The Miners held a lead until the third quarter, when the Grizzlies made a comeback as high scorer Cayley McDowell led her team back. In the fourth quarter, however, the Miners took control and won with a final score of 52-38.

Nevada Union’s in-your-face defense confused the Grizzlies and forced turnovers, and the Miners jumped out to an early lead of 20-9 at halftime.

Preston drained a three-pointer at the beginning of the third quarter, followed by senior Alexa Wolf’s basket. McDowell sunk a three-pointer, which was followed by two free throws shot by Wolf. McDowell sunk another trey, tying the game at 22-22.

McDowell was GBHS’s lead scorer with 12 points, but it ultimately wasn’t enough, as the Grizzlies fell, 52-38.
