The high school girls basketball season was ushered in Tuesday night with
the annual Bay County Tip-off Classic. And what better way to get things
started than a cross town rivalry of Garber and John Glenn.
From the beginning, Garber showed their quickness as they jumped out to a
6-0 lead thanks to steals leading to easy baskets. John Glenn settled
themselves down and began chipping away at Garber's lead. By the end of the
first quarter, the Bobcats found themselves on top 10-8.

The second quarter saw both teams trying to find their shooting touch as the
first game excitement was evident in their play. By the end of the first
half, Garber appeared to be finding their groove as they held a 21-19 lead.
The Dukes took the game over in the third quarter hitting five of their
first seven shots. They continued by pushing the ball up the floor, breaking
Glenn's press and finding the open girl. The result was a 17-6 third quarter
advantage and a 38-25 lead.
John Glenn regrouped entering the fourth quarter. They came at the Dukes
narrowing the margin to 42-35. But Garber's quickness proved to be too much
as the Dukes finished with a 8-2 run and a date in the Championship game.
