Perhaps the best among them was Karis Hurd, who almost dropped a double-double with 19 points and nine rebounds. Another player making a difference was Markayla Shirley, who shot 46% from the field on her way to 18 points along with six steals and five assists.
Chandler smashed the offensive glass and finished the game with 23 offensive boards. That's the most offensive rebounds they've posted since back in November of 2024.
Meanwhile, Verrado came up short against Arizona College Prep last Wednesday, falling 51-28.
Despite the defeat, Verrado saw an underclassman step up: sophomore Tillie Smith posted 12 points and five boards.
Everything came up roses for Chandler against Verrado in their previous meeting back in December of 2024, as the team secured a 57-17 victory. Do the Wolves have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Vipers turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
