Poor shooting doomed the Garner-Hayfield-Ventura girls on Friday, Jan. 8, when they hosted North Union (5-3, 8-3).

“We shot the ball terrible from both the field and the free throw line,” said Coach Matt Erpelding.  “We got numerous open looks from the perimeter, but simply couldn’t knock them down.  Half of our field goal attempts came from the three-point line, which isn’t what you would like.”
