When Megan Kelly is on, she is on.
So, when the Fords were up eight points and Kelly got the ball underneath Garnet Valley’s basket with eight seconds left, she dribbled up to half court and threw it up. The quick line drive heave found itself through the net as the third quarter buzzer sounded, giving the Fords a double-digit lead heading into the fourth quarter 34-23. The shot completely gave the Fords all the momentum to close the game.
“I was looking at the clock and thought I might as well get a shot up,” Kelly said. “I shot it, and I really think it brought the energy up. Now that we had a lead, if we got scored on, we still had a comfortable lead that we were able to be confident in ourselves.”
