Refuse to Lose

A few players have been absolutely willing their teams to victories over the past several weeks and we’ve been impressed. BT Titans player Ty Harpring makes it known that he is going to dominate just about every game. In an outing against the Alpharetta Raiders this weekend, Harpring went for 27 points, getting it done by just about everywhere on the floor. His size and speed have been tough for defenders to handle for several weeks.

Mill Creek’s Ayla Summers has also been on a tear in the GYBA’s 5th/6th-grade girls division. On Sunday versus the Cambridge Bears, Summers also went for 27 points, making sure her team got the win. Mill Creek scored 29 points total in the game, with Mia Huckaby scoring the other bucket.
