"Nice way to head into Thanksgiving break," said head coach Steve Lanpher. "I thought we really set the tone with our defensive pressure and got Trinity out of sync offensively.  I especially loved how unselfish we are as a basketball team and it really showed by recording 25 assists on 33 field goals."

Teniyah Crenshaw-Patterson (Newport News, Va./Heritage) scored a team-high 21 points on 7-of-12 shooting and added 13 rebounds, five assists, and two steals. Cierra Cook (Chesapeake, Va./Western Branch) added 17 points on 7-of-10 shooting. Cameron O'Neil (Gloucester, Va./Gloucester) chipped in 12 points on 4-of-10 shooting from behind the three-point arc.

Stark tallied nine rebounds, four assists, four steals, and two blocked shots. Yanessa Cabrera (Manassas, Va./Stonewall Jackson) dished out seven assists, grabbed five rebounds, and came away with two steals.

"Cierra shot the ball well getting 17 pts & Cameron found her three-point stroke hitting four and recording 12 points," noted Lanpher.  "Kylie showed how she can change a game with limited scoring as she had nine rebounds, four steals and four assists to go along with her eight points.  Alexis Kiser continued her strong play scoring 11 points to go along with six assists."
