But that left Kaylin Becker unguarded and she made the Panthers pay. Becker's hot hand scored the first five field goals for Greenville and pushed her team into the lead against a cold-shooting Metro squad with the first quarter ending 5-12. As Metro adjusted to keep Becker guarded, no other player was able to step up and lead the
Even after last Wednesday night's 67-60 triumph over Portageville, Greenville girls' basketball coach Diane Rainwater Meyer still has a pretty impressive "to do" list pending.
