It was an underclassman who stole the show on Friday as Akasia Jackson came into the match with something to prove. Independence had no answer to Jackson as she scored 11 points along with six rebounds.
Jackson and Ridgeview will look to defend their home court on Monday against the Drillers at 6:30 p.m. The matchup will pit Jackson up against Bakersfield's star guard Kalaya Miller. Will Jackson turn in another gem to overcome Ridgeview? We'll have our answer very soon.
