The much anticipated finals turned into a nightmare for the Lady Purples very quickly finding themselves down by 11 at the end of the 1st quarter and down by a whopping 31 points by half.  The Lady Purples were stunned by the Scotties who had no answer for Lady Scottie Bree Glover and Shalika Smith who delivered the one-two punch that rocked the purples in the first half.

The Purples came out firing in the 3rd quarter outscoring the Lady Scotties 10-2 but never could recover from the deficit in the first half. Bree Glover led all scoring with 34 points followed by Shalika Smith with 20.  Alexander added 17; Ashley Smith and Eli Bartley each had four for the Scotties. Both Glover and Smith ended with a double-double with Glover pulling down 16 and Smith 10. IMG_8489
