2019-20 Girls Basketball - 31st District - Gallatin County vs. Emi...

A few more stats from last night. Oldendick hit 23 of 26 foul shots last night and pulled down 16 rebounds. Brown (12) and Biddle (11) also reached double figures in rebounds.

We give a lot of credit to the Eminence Lady Warriors. It came down to free throws. Eminence went 12/22 from the line. That's the difference i the game. They fought incredibly hard. However, their streak of not reaching the 8th region tournament continues. It's been since at least 1999. They almost broke that last night.
