Showing no signs of defeat, Taylorville came out in games two and three even stronger and more determined. The Tornadoes completely shut down the Trojans momentum and quieting the rowdy Charleston crowd. Taylorville threw themseves in overdrive. This was Taylorville’s most all around team victory this season. With no particular player standing out. Summer Brandis really connected with her team. The senior had 27 assists on the night.
