No shot clock needed.

Mulberry Grove and O’Fallon (First Baptist Academy) combined to fire up 119 shots over four quarters with the Aces coming up clutch during a crucial fourth quarter to break open a tie game and earn a hard-fought 66-58 home win over the Eagles Saturday afternoon.

The win lifted the Aces record to 3-12 and came less than 24 hours after a blowout loss at Raymond (Lincolnwood). It also broke a long 12-game losing streak. For more information see the January 17, 2023 edition of The Greenville Advocate.
