Grove City-The Vikings Can't Overcome the Greyhounds Offense
The Teays Valley Girls Basketball team put up a good fight but ultimately fell short, losing 54-33 to Grove City on Monday. Tessa Horsley scored 13 points and grabbed eight rebounds, but it wasn't enough to overcome Grove City's potent offense.
Grove City took control early, leading 17-9 after the first quarter. The Lady Vikings struggled to contain Grove City's offense, allowing 54 points on 19 field goals, including three three-pointers. Mia Bumgarner led Grove City in scoring with 12 points.
Grove City controlled the game, shooting 19-37 from the field and 10-15 from the free throw line. In contrast, Teays Valley made it to the free throw line twice and went 1-2 from the line. Grove City also outrebounded Teays Valley 17-4.
Tessa Horsley led the Lady Vikings with 13 points, eight rebounds, and five assists. Cooper McManaway added eight points and two rebounds, while the Lady Dawgs had a balanced attack led by Mia Bumgarner, who scored 12 points and grabbed two rebounds. Avery Mann added six points for Teays Valley Girls, while Areyana Karshner, Kenzington Younkin, and Cali Banks each chipped in two points. Grove City's Olivia Reber scored nine points, and Ava Summers added eight points.
"We are always proud of our effort. The girls are never going to back down from a challenge," said TV coach Trevor Younkin. "This group had success when they were younger, but they're just running into experienced teams. Joel Taylor does a great job with this program, and they're due to have some success. We needed these good challenges as we were getting closer to the tournament time to see the strength and the speed and the size and the amount of girls he rotated through. It was good for us to see. Hopefully, we can use that to our advantage when we play in our postseason."
Teays Valley (5-12, 4-5) will be back on the court at home on Thursday for an OCC Buckeye tilt at 7:30 pm against Lancaster (8-8, 3-5).
