On Tuesday, Dec. 15, Mitchell edged Polk, 47-43.

 

The Wolverines, led by Hayley Kropp (24 points, 11 rebounds), outscored the Mountaineers, 15-5 in the fourth quarter, but Mitchell had taken a 33-17 halftime lead.

 

Autumn Owen (eight points), Mariah Overholt (four points, eight rebounds), Ansley Lynch (two points, seven rebounds), and Kendall Hall (four points) helped pace the Wolverines.
