WOODSTOWN 71, HIGHLAND 67 (OT): Highland’s Big Three outscored Woodstown’s Big Three, but the Wolverines complementary players were just a little stronger and it proved to be the difference.
Megan Donelson scored 23 points and Talia Battavio had 19 and both made big plays down the stretch in regulation and in overtime as the Wolverines (17-8) rallied from an early 10-point deficit to beat the Tartans (14-11) for the second time this season. Shannon Pierman added 14 points despite fouling out in the fourth quarter to join the 500-500 Club in career points and rebounds.
Highland’s Dacia Mack led all scorers with 24 points. Breelynn Learn had 21 and Alonsa Thomas had 16.

OVERBROOK 52, SALEM 48: Salem senior NaeNae Logan reached a significant individual milestone in the game, but all things considered, she’d rather have been celebrating a victory.
Logan surpassed 100 blocked shots for the season in the first half of the C Flight semifinals. She had eight altogether and now has 104 for the year.
“She’s a kid who’s real heavy on herself, so for her to come back and get to have a moment like that and her teammates counting it down for her, she deserved it,” Salem coach Tiasia Tatem said.
The Rams, the No. 1 seed in the flight, celebrated Logan and her feat in the locker room at halftime with a 28-17 lead. They should have ridden that wave into the second half, but somebody forgot to tell Overbook. The visitors stormed through the third quarter on a 23-3 blitz to take the lead.
OVERBROOK (7-15) – Gianna Simon 6 5-5 18, Joel Presley 3 2-5 8, Sarah Evans 2 0-0 6, Zahaisha Nevius 6 7-10 20. (Only scorers reported) Totals 17 14-20 52.
SALEM (8-15) – Ava Rodgers 4 6-9 14, Kaela Nichols 3 0-0 6, NaeNae Logan 3 0-0 6, Ryann Foote 3 0-4 6, Zaniyah Freison 2 0-0 4, Marissa Bower 2 0-0 5, Carlysia Pierce 4 0-0 9, Ameriyona Hunter 0 1-2 1. Totals 19 8-19 48.
