Mount Gilead fell into a big hole at Galion on Tuesday night and couldn’t completely climb out of it in falling by a 61-51 margin.
The Tigers dominated the first half, leading 18-5 after the first quarter and 37-16 at the intermission. However, MG took the third by a 16-6 to climb within a 43-32 margin. While they’d get close to Galion in the fourth, they weren’t able to quite get over the hump and wound up falling by 10.
Jackson Huffer’s 18 points led the team, while Joel Butterman finished with 14 and Nathan Rogers tallied eight.
