Lady Dolphins lose another squeaker
GBHS (3-5) used a threepoint play from Deannette Zuniga and a three-pointer from Jamie Beeler for an early 9-3 lead. But Milton (5-4) would score nine of the last 11 points of the quarter to take a 12-11 lead. Milton was 0-for-6 from inside the three-point line in the opening quarter, so they went outside, going 4-for-6 from threepoint range. But Milton wouldn't score another three for the remainder of the game (0-for-9). Natalie Alverson, who just missed a double-double (nine points, 10 rebounds), scored to make it 18-16 halfway through the second quarter. But Milton ended the quarter with a 9-4 run to take a 25-22 halftime lead. Gulf Breeze made only one shot in the third quarter, which allowed Milton to go on a 12-3 run to take a 37-25 lead.
But Gulf Breeze would turn the ball over on each of their final three possessions of the game. One of them came on a questionable fifth foul on Zuniga, who was ruled to have been moving while setting a screen for a teammate. Zuniga led Gulf Breeze with 14 points on 5-for-7 shooting. She also had four assists. Beeler had 10 points and seven rebounds, while Tobie Bass had six points and nine rebounds. Jordan Smith grabbed a team-high 11 rebounds off the bench and contributed two points. GBHS enjoyed a 40-32 rebounding edge. The fourth quarter was a mirror image of their recent fourth quarter effort against Pace, where they trailed by 12, rallied and eventually lost by one. Friday's game was the team's third single-digit loss this season. Milton JV 44, Lady Dolphins 18 Emily Chastain scored six points to lead the JV against Milton. Milton ninth grade 28, Lady Dolphins 16 Ashley Scott scored five points, while Addison Pohlmann added four for Gulf Breeze in a loss to Milton. Lady Dolphins 58, Tate 37 Beeler had a double-double (12 points, 10 rebounds) as Gulf Breeze avenged a close loss at Tate with a blowout win Dec. 5. Tate took an early 6-2 lead before Gulf Breeze went on a 9- 0 run. Beeler hit two threepointers in that run. Bass grabbed one of her team-high 11 rebounds and scored to make it 16-9 Gulf Breeze after one. The Lady Dolphins led by eight (26- 18) at the half before Tate cut the deficit in half in the early stages of the second half. Gulf Breeze would stretch it back out to 13 midway through the fourth quarter before the Lady Aggies got to within nine with 2:50 left. But Gulf Breeze would end the game with a 10-0 run, with Munsch and Smith both scoring four in the run. Zuniga had 12 points, five rebounds, five assists and seven steals, while Alverson added 10 points, five assists and three steals. Munsch chipped in nine off the bench, going 3-for-4 from the field. Smith was a perfect 3-for-3 for six points, while Tobie Bass had five points. Papajohn and Marsh added two points apiece. Lady Dolphin JV 35, Tate JV 31 Chastain scored 12 points, while Madeleine Walden blocked a pair of shots in the final minute to preserve the win. PHS 67, Lady Dolphins 22 Gulf Breeze held PHS off the scoreboard for four possessions, but the Lady Tigers would score on the fifth as they outscored GBHS 24-0 in the first quarter. Zuniga led Gulf Breeze with eight points and five rebounds. Alverson added five points, while Beeler had four, Morgan Bass three and Tobie Bass two. Papajohn had five rebounds off the bench.
