By Ty Bartell

GIRARD OH- Leading into the official winter break, a handful of girls basketball teams were in-action Saturday afternoon prior to the holiday. One of those matchups was a non-conference battle between the Eastern Buckeye Conference’s (EBC) Salem Quakers and the Northeast 8 Conference’s (NE8) Girard Indians. Both teams entered Saturday needing a win to pretty up the record and get some more confidence rolling in each respective program.

The Quakers wasted little time grabbing an advantage, after starting out the game down 2-0, Salem sprinted ahead off a 9-0 run to hold a 19-8 lead after the first quarter.
