Galion tied the second half at 16 points, but it was not enough to surpass Marion Harding.

The Lady Presidents (3-6, 1-4 MOAC) made 20 shots that evening and 11 of 14 free throws, while the Tigers had nine shots and 14 of 25 free throws that evening.

“The kids came out and played really hard to start,” Marion Harding head girls basketball Evan Geyer said. “It’s when the ball goes in early.”

Jamie Ehrman led Galion with eight points, while Taylor Valentine added seven points including a 3-pointer.

“I think they’re improving from the team last year,” Geyer said. “I like that No. 5 (Ehrman) and No. 14 Valentine… We knew we had a game plan for them because that’s who they look to offensively.”

Marion Harding senior Fallyn Stephens had a solid night leading all scorers with 25 points. Abbi Jackson and Jordan Lewis added six points each.
