DeVoe hit a falling-down 3 at the end of the shot clock for the first bucket of the game, and Skara hit his first 3 of the season. Eli did not start the game for some reason--probably disciplinary because he came in after the first couple minutes. Donnal started in his place, and Grantham won the tip. Tigers lead 17-10 with under 12 mins left in the half. Grantham has 5 points, Mitchell 4. |
