Girard was still in this after one, as Jeannette didn't capitalize on Girard's turnovers. Girard was getting open looks at the hoop, they just couldn't get anything to fall. I was impressed with their continuous effort and they are to be commended for a great season. I was looking forward to seeing Jeannette. Several people had told me about #1 Pryor before I got there. He's good, but they definitely have the total team effort going on. He was held scoreless in the 1st quarter, yet they were still up. Loose balls tonight typically ended up with Jeannette, they are quick.
I hear Farrell and North East play Saturday, should be a great game.
