Isabella coach Glen Graham said he was pleased with how his team performed Monday, coming off a disappointing loss to Jemison over the weekend in the championship game of the Chilton County tournament.

“I was real proud of the girls, how we came back,” Graham said. “But I’ve been stressing this: this is the playoffs, and this is what gives us our chance to make it to our ultimate goal, which is the Elite 8.”
