A five-minute cold streak in the fourth quarter doomed the Jefferson High girls in a taut match-up Friday in Three Forks. Despite a gutty comeback, the Panthers fell to their division rivals, 44-37.
This one started out with the Emma Grange Show: The senior transfer scored 11 in the first quarter –making a drive through the lane, then following with a three, and adding two more buckets to give the Panthers a 13-7 lead at the end of the first period.
Three Forks started the second with a three-pointer and added a free throw to pull to 13-11, but Rachel Van Blaricom countered with a score, Laurynn Armstrong hit a pair of free throws and Grange added another with seven seconds left to make it 19-14 at the half.
