Lady Gryphons Win Tournament Championship
February 13, 2009
The Lady Gryphons played stifling defense to hold Landrum to just 8 points through the first three periods. Landrum mounted an 11 to 3 run in the fourth and hit the game tieing shot but the shot was waved off by the referee as time had expired before the shot was released. The Gryphons were led by Victoria Bennett with 11 and Anna Dedmon with 10.
