Swanson's scoring leads Grant to another victory

Another big game for Jamie Swanson, another big-margin win for Grant's girls basketball team.

Swanson equaled her season high with 21 points to lead the Bulldogs to a 60-42 victory over host North Chicago on Saturday.

The game was a makeup of last Tuesday's postponement due to the weather.

Heather Ruetsche added 16 points for the Bulldogs and Bailey Wagner had 9.

North Chicago was led in scoring by Tatiana Webb's 12 points.
