“Quantasia Perry made some great steals and ignited some points off of steals to get us back,” Coach Kevin Furtado, said.

The third quarter started with a 14-8 run by Alcovy to take and hold the lead.

“We controlled the ball in the fourth quarter and senior Tierra Hodges made some key buckets in crunch time to pull out the win. Great team win by our girls and we really played together to secure the victory,” Furtado said in an email.
