Giants’ giant foils Ely girls

For a half, the Ely Timberwolves kept NCAA Division I-bound Marta Forsline in check.

But the 6-3 center from Mesabi East warmed up in the second half, and Ely had little answer.

Forsline, who is bound for Cal-Davis next fall, scored 20 of her game-high 30 points in the second half and the Giants erased a seven-point deficit and rallied for a 54-44 high school girls basketball victory at the Memorial Gymnasium.
