The Shalom Lady Flames picked up a hard-fought 37–20 road win over the Linville Hill Lady Lions. The final score doesn’t tell the whole story — this was an intense battle against a strong opponent that knows how to compete.

The game opened slowly. The Flames’ defense was locked in from the start, but the offense struggled to find rhythm against the Lions’ athleticism and pressure. Shalom edged Linville Hill 5–4 in a defensive first quarter. The second quarter followed a similar script, and a Lions three-pointer at the buzzer sent the Flames into halftime trailing 11–10.

Following a “somber” halftime locker room, the Flames came out with renewed energy. Julianna Myers sparked the turnaround with a steal and a basket, helping ignite Shalom’s transition game. The Flames took control in the third quarter, outscoring the Lions 13–6. Their defensive intensity continued to wear Linville Hill down in the fourth, holding them to just 3 points. Maya Lehman slammed the door shut, scoring 9 of her 10 points in the final quarter as the Flames pulled away with a 14–3 run to secure the decisive win.

Addison Adams led the way offensively with 10 points and a team-high 2 assists. Maya Lehman added 10 points and 6 rebounds. Emily Rebok contributed 7 points and 6 boards, while Sydney Moore finished with 6 points and 5 rebounds. Julianna Myers filled the stat sheet with 4 points, 4 steals, and 5 rebounds.

Assistant Coach Joanna Rheam praised the team afterward, telling the Flames they battled through adversity tonight and won the kind of game that they struggled to win last season.
