Final from the Bill Hollifield Gym, and from on the Mickie Tuttle Court, at Western Guilford HS, where the Hornets top the Page Pirates, 47-46, in Round One of the Girls Metro 4-A Conference Tournament…Toni Noland hits a clutch shot for the Hornets, to give Western the Win/”W”, in the final seconds of the contest…Leila Henderson also hit some key free throws late for Western, as the Hornets get themselves a victory in one of those candidates for “The Game of the Week, the Game of the Month, and the Game of the Year”, all rolled into one…

Page out-scored WG, 15-2 in the Third Quarter, but Western Guilford persevered, and the WG defense got to Page in the closing minutes of the contest…WG hits some big boards, and when Page lost Kennedy Leggett to fouls, WG took advantage of Page, and forced Page to make some crucial mistakes, WG gets the HUGE victory…..
Close to being a three, but goes down as a two-point shot for Toni Noland, to win it for the Western Guilford Hornets…
