We came out a little flat to start the game, and Tippy Valley capitalized early, taking a 10–8 lead into halftime. Despite the slow start, our girls never stopped battling. The message at halftime was simple — increase the energy, trust each other, and play Lady Falcon basketball. The response in the third quarter was exactly what we needed.

A huge spark came from Leah Brackett, who stepped up off the bench and made an immediate impact on both ends of the floor. Her energy, defensive intensity, and offensive contributions helped shift the momentum and ignite the team when we needed it most. It wasn’t our sharpest start, but it was a complete team effort and a great example of perseverance.
