WESLEY CHAPEL, Fla. – Playing in their second game of the Tampa Bay Christmas Invitational, the Warren Lady Dragons earned a hard-fought 47-46 victory over Millington Central (Tenn.).
Trailing 46-45, Emma Ruhlman hit the go-ahead shot with eight seconds left and, after a pair of timeouts, the Warren defense, which was led on the afternoon by Riley Childress and Sam Ruhlman and Grace Ruhlman, forced a tough potential game-winner for the Trojans’ Keria McGhee that was off the mark.
