GRANT HIGH SCHOOL: 62
Fremont traveled to Grant Tuesday night to play the Tigers. Fremont jumped out to an early lead but Grant battled back to tie the game at 13 by the close of the first period. Fremont held a 15-11 advantage in the second quarter to take a 28-24 lead into the halftime locker room. The game continued to be close until the final couple minutes of the third quarter when the Grant press finally wore down the Packers and forced some turnovers during a 7-0 run to end the third quarter and the Tigers took a 46-39 lead into the fourth. The fourth quarter started the same the third ended, with a quick run by Grant to extend the lead to 51-39. However, the Packers didn't quit, and closed the gap to 8 points inside two minutes, but could get no closer.
Grant was led by Julie Ashbaugh's 25 points, including going 13-14 from the free throw line. Jaycee Hance and Josie Pleune each added 13 points. Fremont was led by Jessica Bennett's 20 points and Olivia Hansen added 16.
Coach Zerlaut -- "Our effort and energy were outstanding again tonight. We got off to a quick start offensively and that seemed to build some confidence, which led to more shots falling tonight. We did a really good job of getting the ball inside tonight and we rebounded well throughout the game. Take away the run at the end of the third and beginning of the fourth and we were right there."
