Caitlin Miller and Yezlin Mondragon-Guyton all played in their final high school basketball game
Following the contest Ithaca senior Tristan Peterson commented on the win
Honestly coming out. I was kind of discouraged with that lead. They had it in the beginning and then
I don't know. I just feel like Nelson was one our way, but somehow
We managed to figure out what we had to do and we got it done
I really felt when he got it to within nine at halftime because it's been 16
But you got it to within nine just go to halftime kind of believe it a little bit more
Yes 100 percent like when JC hit that last shot before the half was over
That was just where the momentum started and we just all got super excited
And I think that carried over to the second half Tristan talked to us a little bit more about the season so far for Ithaca
This year no one expected anything out of her team with our small numbers and only having a varsity team no JV
Like we can't even practice against each other without coaches or people stepping in so
Winning this and being able to practice with this team that we've accomplished so much less and proved so many people wrong is
Just something so exciting and I'm excited to do it Friday brings Maggie Kirschner talked to us about the win and her five threes
Yeah, it was great the excitement was there especially and I just tried to stay calm and collected the entire time
Yeah, it it looked like it
Could you see any one moment like a turning point in the game?
Where maybe you kind of turn the tables on highland a little bit?
Uh definitely the second half when I went in I hit a few threes and then
A lot of the posts they're bunnies and then just
felt really good right there and that the rest of the game is gonna be good another win here this year and another chance to play
Against Sholesberg team on Friday. What do you think the team has to continue to do to get better here?
And then just play as a team stay calm the entire time and work together and just try our best
And the bulldogs Holly King another senior talked about late in the game and how everyone dug deep
I'd like to say that Maggie hit lights out that game
I think without without our scores like Maggie and Tristan and Jayce without would have been a rough game
I'm really thankful that he really showed up tonight
You've got a few steals on them to start, you know in the second half
And it really kind of turned the tie isn't it?
Yeah, defense is also a huge part of the game
If you can get that momentum from steals and charges like Tristan did
Then it's definitely a really good way to like turn the table
We a little bit deflated when you're 16 points down in the first half
Oh definitely, but like like Tristan said we we were down nine
Well, we were up nine against Thailand on Tuesday, but it's just
It's just whoever comes back in that second half is what really matters
And I'm glad that
Honestly, we were down because they gave us a momentum come back on the second half
That was Holly King, Ithaca now 14 and 10 on the season

From start to finish across the board
everybody they got in aggressive
we were in attack mode from start to finish
and really I don't think now go through the film

but I don't think we ever really relented
you know and backed off even when we had a
large lead it was a mindset and all the time out
to continue to to attack and play aggressive
