weren't very focused in the first half, we didn't have a lot of

intensity," Fairhope head coach Jessica Webb said. "The third

quarter it took us a while to score. We held them several times in

a row and still couldn't get it going offensively. Our freshman,

Sidney White, subbed in off the bench and she really sparked the

team. She and Kali Martin, their hustle plays sparked the team into

getting some easy baskets. That got us finally going in the third

and fourth."
