“I just needed to score,” Hargrave said. “That’s just all I could think of is just score, get to the rim.”
She hit a 3-pointer from the top of the key in overtime to give Fairmont a 55-52 lead with two minutes left; the Firebirds led the rest of the way.
“Everybody was loud,” Hargrave said. “That shot, I was just confident. We just got up, and we never gave up.”
