Gallatin erased a 3-0 Trenton lead off the tip with a 10-0 run sparked by a pair of Claire Hemry baskets and an Annabelle Ball 15-footer. A pair of Libby Endicott free throws, 2 Carli Beck buckets and a final Hemry shot from just inside the arc lifted Gallatin to a 19-10 advantage at the break.
Trenton briefly tied the game at 21-21 inside the final minute of the third quarter but Hemry ended a long GHS scoring drought to put her team back in front entering the final 8 minutes of action.
The fourth quarter witnessed a pair of ties and 3 lead changes before Teya Cooksey hit a 3-pointer to give Trenton the lead for good with less than 2 minutes to play. Presley Wells tossed in a free throw for Gallatin to make it a 36-33, one possession game with 33 seconds left but Trenton closed the scorebook with a pair of charity tosses.
Hemry paced Gallatin with 12 points. Endicott and Beck each finished with 6.
