South Forsyth didn't have an answer for the 6-foot-5 Jenna Staiti—until it did, with less than 30 seconds remaining and a two-point lead. After Staiti's future University of Maryland teammate Sarah Myers, who struggled with her shot for much of the game, missed one of two free throws, West Forsyth trailed 61-59 and Staiti returned up the floor and into the post, where she had already scored 46 points on a remarkable 18-of-21 clip. But on West's final feed to Staiti, South's Zoe Maisel gathered in the pass and Myers, alertly, called timeout on the baseline before Staiti could muscle the ball back into West's possession.
