Claire Campbell, Miliana Espiritu and Daisy Gentry celebrate winning and Miliana’s 16th birthday w/the tournament bracket
The Lady Panthers stunned the Coalfield Yellow Jackets 65-51 in the championship game in a repeat match up from an earlier tournament where the Lady Jackets had put Powell in the loser’s bracket. Not to be on Monday as Powell showed strong offense and defense in all four quarters.
It was a special game for #25 Miliana Espiritu (yes, she is related … granddaughter) who was celebrating her 16th birthday!
