North Hall got the defense it’s been preaching at practice for the last week. It just wasn’t enough, as a late rally to force overtime came up short in a 68-61 loss to Jefferson on Tuesday night in Gainesville. Jefferson squandered a seven-pount lead in the final minute of regulation, only going 2 of 6 in their final three trips to the free throw line, but outscored the Lady Trojans 13-6 in OT. The Dragons (8-3) watched the Trojans get clutch 3’s from Sadie Cleveland and Caroline Hearn during a 7-1 run in 49 seconds, the second a crowd erupting trey from Hearn with 2 ticks on the clock.
