Heading into the locker room at the half, Miller was leading 17-15.
Early on in the third quarter, Trimble looked rejuvenated and retook the lead by outscoring them 12-8 in the frame but couldn’t pull this energy into the fourth quarter.
The Miller Lady Falcons outscored the Lady Tomcats 13-8 in the fourth quarter to finish with the win.
It was a sloppy game by both teams overall. Both teams turned the ball over numerous times and Trimble could not find an offensive rhythm.
Trimble’s Emily Young led the way for her team with 12 points. Laikyn Imler handled the ball well and had eight points of her own.
Miller’s Hallie Joseph tallied a double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds. Askya McFann also pulled her weight with nine points.
