CASSTOWN — The Miami East girls basketball defense was in a “zone”.

And with points at a premium Monday night against Anna, it took that kind of defense to get a 26-18 win over Anna and remain unbeaten on the season and improved to 17-0.

After making three field goals in the first quarter, the Rockets would not make another one until the final 30 seconds of the game, getting two late baskets as the Vikings defense smothered any offensive attempts.

Miami East’s Logan Phillips had the only field goal for either team in the second quarter, hitting a 3-pointer to keep East within 9-7 at halftime.

Another three by Phillips put East up 10-9 in the third quarter, before Anna hit four straight free throws.

Maryn Gross scored the final three points of the quarter for East to make it 13-13 going to the fourth quarter.
