GAME STORY: No. 2 Gordon girls top No. 1 Eula in classic battle of unbeatens

EULA — Yes, it lived up to the hype. In fact, Tuesday’s showdown between the top-ranked Eula girls and No. 2 Gordon may have exceeded the expectations of some. 

Faith Garnett scored 17 points and sister Grace Garnett added 16 more to lead Gordon (22-0, 1-0 District 13-1A) to a thrilling 47-43 win in a battle of unbeatens at Mary Mosley Gymnasium.

In a game that featured 21 combined 3-pointers between the two clubs, seven lead changes and five ties, Gordon used a 7-3 spurt in the final 3:51 to walk away with the win. 

While suffering its first loss of the year, Eula (25-1, 1-1) was led by Kamryn Franklin with 12 and Emma Damron with 11. 

“With the respect we have for Eula and the job coach Fostel does with them, we knew coming in that it would be two teams that are well-prepared and that would land punches,” Gordon coach Matt Garnett said. “Our whole goal was to be able to take some of those punches and we felt like we could throw some. 

“But we know how good they are and I was just really proud.”
