Unfortunately for Patrick Henry's girls basketball Saturday, their shooting was as icy as the cold drink containers in the concession stand. Varina took full advantage of the Patriot baskets not falling to retake a lead, then hold on to defeat Patrick Henry 62-60 in the 5th place game of the Times-Dispatch Invitational Tournament at the Siegel Center Saturday afternoon.
Summer Price, who was named to the All-Tournament Team, poured in 32 points, half of them in the fourth quarter when the Patriots were desperately trying to erase a small but consistent Varina lead. Jasmine Pinder had one of her better offensive outputs in some time, scoring 14. Amber Lee had 6, low for her, as she was bit by the "cold shooting bug", as were others, in the second half. Three-pointers, runners in the lane, even a point-blank layup for Price, all missing their mark.
That was enough of an opening to allow Varina, led by Mia Fitts' 19 points, to erase a 31-27 halftime deficit to march to victory. Varina moves to 10-1 with the win, while Patrick Henry moves to 9-2 and must next prepare to play the one team they did defeat in the tournament, Deep Run, on Thursday January 3rd when Colonial District play heats up.
Patrick Henry is alone in first in the Colonial at 5-0, while every other team has at least two district losses. The Patriots beat Deep Run in a nip and tuck battle Friday 52-49.
