Coal Grove coach Nick Miller was more concerned with his team’s overall shooting.

“We just couldn’t score. We couldn’t hit shots in the fourth quarter,” said Miller. “We played better than the other night, but we just can’t get any consistency.”

Kayla Wiley had 11 points in the first quarter as the Tigers went up 18-17. Cox countered with 8 and Danielle Carpenter had all 4 of her points.

Cox and Delong scored 5 each in the second quarter and Coal Grove trailed just 28-27 at the break.

Coal Grove took a 3-point lead in the third quarter as Sexton scored 8 points, but Missy Buckley had 7 points and Wiley 5 as New Boston rallied to go ahead 45-42.

New Boston outscored Coal Grove 13-7 in the fourth quarter.

Wiley had 19 points and Buckley 15 for New Boston (6-0).
