Jemison’s girls basketball team picked up its first win of the season, 42-31, at home Monday against Isabella.

The JHS boys also won, 86-34.

Panthers girls coach Leighsa Robinson said her team was more patient against Isabella’s pressure defense. Then, when in their halfcourt offense, the Panthers made good decisions and passed the ball well.

“And I think we played a much better defensive game,” Robinson said.

Isabella led 20-17 at halftime, but JHS tied the game at 24 on a three-pointer by Shelby Lopez with 3:22 remaining in the third period and took the lead on a pair of free throws by Shelby Griffin on the next possession.

The Panthers (1-3) outscored their visitors 16-7 in the third period.

Griffin, Lopez and Shayna Robinson each scored 10 points for Jemison.

Lopez had eight rebounds, and Laura Vinzant had seven.

Lopez and Vinzant each had five assists.

Tyler Edwards scored 13 points for Isabella.
