FIELD TWP— A second half Blue Devils surge lifted Virginia to an easy win over the North Woods girls basketball team here on Monday night. It was a story of two halves as the Grizzlies played a strong first half, taking a 32-29 lead into the break. But the second half was all Blue Devils as Virginia outscored the Grizzlies 50-17 in the frame to head home with the 79-49 win.
North Wood senior Sasha Strong led scoring for the Grizzlies, with 17 points, including four three-pointers, while junior Brynn Simpson added nine points and senior Coley Olson added eight.  Senior Kennedy Wardas tallied seven points and freshman Hannah Kinsey added five.
The girls were headed to Mt. Iron-Buhl on Thursday, before a home game against Greenway next Monday night.
