Moore then split her free throws, and Alex Twitty added two free throws of her own to put Hanceville ahead 14-11 going into the second period.

Robinson and Miller each hit baskets down low early in the second quarter to give Vinemont a 15-14 lead. Both teams traded leads over the next few possessions.

But Yarbrough answered with five straight points to push Vinemont’s lead to 41-26.
