Brownstown girls seize Trinity tournament title
12/29/20 9:22 AM
The Brownstown Central and Trinity Lutheran girls basketball teams seem to find a way to make it to championship games of holiday tournaments.
Last year, they met in the finals of the Toby Yoho Tournament.
On Monday night, they reached the finals of the inaugural Ben Emkes Holiday Classic at the Bollinger Athletic Complex. Both times, the results were the same.
The Braves won 56-43 to take home the championship trophy.
On Monday night, the Cougars (12-3) held a 31-24 lead at the half.
The Cougars had possession of the ball to start the second half but were called for a five-second violation when they couldn’t get the ball in play. That play seemed to spark the Braves, and they scored the first 16 points of the third period.
