Girls Basketball wins Overtime Thriller

Last Friday, Girls Varsity Basketball headed to Cranbrook in a pivotal CHSL matchup. After falling to the Cranes a week prior, Greenhills needed to secure a win in order to strengthen their standings and bid for a CHSL playoff appearance. Things didn't look great at halftime, with host Cranbrook ahead 17. While Greenhills was able to cut the lead down to 14 to start the fourth quarter, it still appeared a longshot to complete a comeback. While the Gryphons kept battling, they still found themselves down 9 with only 2 minutes to go. 

Sophomore Libby Schuster got the comeback going, hitting a 3-pointer to cut the lead to 6 with 1:40 left. Schuster would add another bucket with a minute to go, bringing Greenhills within 2. Freshman Quinn Maldonado would go on to hit two free throws to tie that game at 49 with 10 seconds to go, forcing OT.

The Gryphons would have to come from behind again, in overtime. Cranbrook grabbed a 4-point lead with 3 minutes to go before Greenhills' full court pressure finally got to the Cranes. Sophomore Cate Alumkal led the effort in overtime, with multiple steals and two crucial late baskets, leading Greenhills to a 56-55 victory.
