Both Liz Kitley and Cayla King are from Northwest Guilford High School which is very local to High Point University. The game presented an opportunity for them to go home to visit family and friends and play some basketball for their local fans. Those fans evidently showed up at the game and were heard cheering for the Hokies, sporting maroon and getting a real treat.
The treat came with a Hokie win, but not before High Point made it known that they didn’t intend on being a cupcake to allow for an easy runaway victory. The Lady Panthers hung in with the Hokies through most of the first half.
