Comets defensive effort overwhelms Gillespie

In basketball, only five players are on the floor at one time.

To Gillespie, it must have seemed like there were seven or eight Comets out there on defense.

The Comets were consistently diving for loose balls in passing lanes and challenging every shot.

That Comet effort forced the Miners into 19 turnovers and allowed them to make only five shots from the floor before the running clock kicked in as GHS picked up a 55-24 win at Gillespie Friday night. For more information see the February 7, 2023 edition of The Greenville Advocate.
