GRACE - The Grace girls' basketball team edged North Gem 35-34 at home Wednesday under strange circumstances.

North Gem coach Corry Hatch said the game ended 34-34 at the end of regulation, but the referees whistled him for a technical foul, and Grace junior Michelle Burton hit the second of her two foul shots to give the Grizzlies the win.

"I've never seen an ending like that, ever," Hatch said.

The ending overshadowed solid performances from Grace's Kylee Jensen, who had 10 points, and North Gem's Chynna Holbrook, who had 12.

Grace improved to 5-0 and next plays Noth Fremont on Friday. North Gem dropped to 2-2 and next travels to play Oakley on Friday.
