GIRLS

The girl’s game was looked at as the potential league championship game by many with both teams 7-0 in league play but Jackson Heights forced 20 turnovers and showed why they are ranked sixth in Class 2A.

Jackson Heights started quick jumping out to a 12-6 lead after one forcing ACCHS into six turnovers while Kanyon Olberding notched five points.

ACCHS tried to creep back into the game with a couple of buckets to trim the lead to 14, but that is as close as they would get suffering from 20 total turnovers in the game.
