If Gar-Field wanted to avenge their loss from the last time they played Freedom, they should've done a better job of containing Keilani Johnson. The Freedom Eagles took their match on Thursday with ease, bagging a 65-19 win over the Gar-Field Red Wolves thanks in part to Johnson, who dropped a triple-double on 21 points, ten assists, and 12 steals. She is becoming a predictor of Freedom's success: when she posts at least eight assists the team is 5-2 (and 3-4 when she doesn't).
Gar-Field's defeat came despite a true team effort from the offense, with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Icys Carroll, who posted eight points. That was a full 42.1% of Gar-Field's points, marking the 13th time in a row she's put up more than a third of the team's points.
