FAIRVIEW — Molly McKelvy secured a game-high 24 points, Fairview’s varsity girls turned in a spectacular defensive effort, and the Lady Aggies stormed past Brewer 62-28 in the semifinals of the Class 5A, Area 14 Tournament on Monday evening.

Fairview improved to 16-8 following the victory inside Joe Shults Gymnasium.

All in all, a fantastic showing.

“I feel like we had a really good gameplan, and the girls bought into it,” coach Justin Billings said. “We wanted to let our defense lead to a lot of our offense, so I challenged the girls on the defensive end. They came out with a lot of intensity and got the stops we needed.”

Daisy Manasco and Maddie Yeager spearheaded a 10-0 Fairview run to start the game, and the Lady Aggies parlayed that quick momentum into 34-14 halftime lead.

McKelvy swiftly put to rest any thoughts of a Brewer comeback in the third stanza, showing off her best Steph Curry impression by draining four 3-pointers in those eight minutes.

Manasco (11) and Yeager (10) joined McKelvy in double digits, while Emma Garcia (six), Jaycee Aleman (four), Jayla Gorham (three), Morgan Lindsay (two) and Jacy Gorham (two) rounded out the scoring.

Fairview will travel to No. 6 Guntersville on Thursday at 6 p.m. to play in the championship clash.

The Lady Aggies split their two regular season matchups with the Lady Wildcats, and Billings said he expects his team’s most difficult challenge to date.

“I think it’ll be the toughest game we’ve played all year,” he said. “They got us at their place, and we got them at our place. I know for a fact both teams want it, and I know both teams are going to be locked in. It’s going to be a great game.”
