Ellyn Avery (Grady/GHS) fired a three-pointer just eight seconds into the second quarter and pulled the visitors to within one.

A layup by Katy Boren (Lubbock/Cooper) gave Sully its first lead of the game at 7:46 before the War Hawks reclaimed the favor and held the advantage for the next five minutes.

with one second left on the clock.
