Roswell girls clamp down on Johns Creek in 2nd half By ANNABELLE REITER annabelle@appenmedia.com JOHNS CREEK, Ga — The Roswell High School girls extended their dominance over the Gladiators of Johns Creek Jan. 24 with a 53-37 victory at Johns Creek High School. It was a rematch of the Dec. 13 game where Roswell won 42-38 at home. Roswell guard Eve Buckley led the team with 22 points, six rebounds, and two blocks, splashing three 3-pointers in the second quarter to get the Hornets moving offensively. After a close first half, Roswell went to the locker room up two. Head coach DJ Moore said the team met his challenge to get after it defensively, allowing the Gladiators only 16 points in the second half, while the Hornets tacked on another 30. “In the second half, we set a tone,” Moore said. “We’re focused on getting stronger defensively, moving the ball, and getting multiple people to score. Two points here and three there add up, little contributions are very meaningful.”
