Trailing by six points in the fourth quarter, Abbeville had to change its defensive strategy against Cottonwood on Monday night.
The defensive change, it turned out, paid dividends as did two key 3-pointers by seventh grader Gabby Brown as the Yellow Jackets rallied down the stretch to earn a 41-37 Class 2A sub-regional win over the Bears at Abbeville’s Moses Knight Jr. Gym.
Abbeville did such a good job that Cottonwood scored only two points in the final 6:20 – on a Keys basket down low – and didn’t score in the last 4:12 when the Bears missed their final five shots and had three turnovers. Glover blocked a Keys shot down low and the Jackets moved ahead when Bre Hardamon hit 1-of-2 free throws with 2:30 to go.
Glover intercepted a Cottonwood pass in the halfcourt set on the ensuing possession and was fouled. She made 1-of-2 free throws with 20.8 seconds left to make it a two-possession lead at 41-37.
