Diller/Odell at Sterling (Friday, Dec 7th)
Diller/Odell girls defeated Sterling girls 53 – 45. The game was filled with turnovers and fouls by both teams. Diller/Odell jumped out to a first quarter lead of 12-9 off of some good full court presses that allowed them to get a couple of steals and quick lay-ups. Sterling switched up their defense and had a nice second quarter outscoring the Lady Griffins 14-7, to take a halftime lead of 23-19. The third quarter was played evenly and then in the final quarter Diller/Odell scored 23 points to close out the game. Diller/Odell's defense forced 36 turnovers by the Lady Jets. Coach Cockerill stated, “Our team needs to go back to the basic ball handling drills. When you have 36 turnovers as a team it is hard to win any game.”
