DAYTON, OH- Good players have rough games also, for Dee Alexander she did the first half with 3 fouls but the mighty Purcell held their own against Laurel defeating them 79-52 to capture their third trophy in a row for the mighty Purcell Marion Cavaliers in a moment where this Div. II matchup against two of the young stars in the Ohio high school program would battle to the end.
Purcell has a knack of beating teams in double digits, tonight did not differ as they pulled away early in the second quarter never looking back. Ky'Aira Miller was the bright spot in the game as Dee Alexander battled foul trouble and Coach Mosley played it safe with such a comfortable lead.
Miller accounted for a score in every quarter keeping the foot on the pedal ending with a tied game high of 18 with her teammate Dee Alexander.
