Girls roundup: Weaver guard Gibbs strikes a familiar pose in win over JCA; Spring Garden’s Austin nets win No. 600 and more
MONDAY’S GIRLS GAMES
Anniston 50, Munford 18
Ragland 56, Ohatchee 54
Spring Garden 72, Cleburne County 41
Weaver 46, Jacksonville Christian 35
Winterboro 60, Faith Christian 25
WEAVER – D.J. Gibbs came down on the break, launched a 3-pointer from the top of the key that found nothing but net and her follow-through just naturally led to the Mantis pose, the signature Alabama move that was all over the Iron Bowl Saturday.
