Ladybirds open with 2OT victory over Tolton

North Callaway junior guard Elaine Brinker splashed home the go-ahead 3-pointer with 2 minutes, 45 seconds to lift the Ladybirds to a 41-38 double overtime win over Father Tolton in its season opener on Monday night. Brinker's triple gave North Callaway a 39-38 advantage as they used a pair of free throws in the game's waning moments to secure new head coach Matt Miller's first varsity head coaching win.
