GREEN RIDGE — Tipton rallied from a 21-point deficit in the fourth quarter but ultimately fell to Green Ridge 67-62 on Tuesday in Green Ridge.
“We pressured the ball really good,” said Tipton coach Jason Culpepper. “We turned around and made a few shots finally. In the third quarter we just missed so many shots (hitting 3 of 17 from the field) and then we gave up a few easy points in transition.”
