The Mainland girls basketball team beat Lake Mary in a 61-49 home game Nov. 17.
Mainland took the lead early on and kept the Rams of Lake Mary at bay for a majority of the game. However, with constant battles for possession, Lake Mary began to creep up and take the lead for the first and only time of the game late in the second half. The Buccaneers responded, clawing their way back to tie the game for a short period. Once they broke the tie, Lake Mary did not tie or take the lead again for the rest of the game.
Prior to the game, seniors Isys Grady and Hendley Welch both signed their national letters of intent. Grady has plans to join the Spartans at UNC-Greensboro, and Welch will take her talents to Converse College.
The team will next travel to DeLand on Thursday, and then play Father Lopez on Saturday. Thursday's game will see junior varsity with a 5:30 p.m. start time and varsity at 7:30 p.m., while Saturday's schedule shows game times for 2:30 pm and 4 p.m.
