Missouri junior Kobe Brown was aware his rebounding total was well past a dozen while on the floor Monday night.

SALISBURY — Gladly welcoming back a player they missed down the stretch last season, Meadville High School’s basketball Lady Eagles grabbed a 13-6 lead in the opening eight minutes and, despite shooting only about 33% from the field in the game, kept Glasgow’s Lady Yellowjackets at arm’s length the rest of the way, “winning” three of the four quarters in their neutral-floor season opener Saturday, Nov. 19, 53-43.
