Gracelin Corley
Girls Basketball
This week we honor Gracelin Corley as the female athlete of the week. Gracelin was clutch in the Lady Tigers overtime win against Southern H.S. out of Maryland. Gracelin scored 6 out of her game-high 19 points in the extra stanza. Elkins outscored the Lady Rams 7-2 in overtime. The Tigers got things going in the 4th quarter to rally and tie the game forcing the OT and from there it was all Elkins. We congratulate Gracelin and the Lady Tigers for their hustle, fight, and never give up attitude. Go Tigers!
