"I was pleased with the halftime adjustments that we make," Mills Coach Raymond Cooper said. "And they were all defensive. We talked about little things we key on that we weren't doing before halftime. A lot of times in the first half we were just trading baskets. Offense wasn't the problem. The focus was on the defense."
Senior guard Grehlon Easter sparked the Comet's hot start, getting a putback and a dunk after a steal as Mills grabbed an 11-0 lead three minutes into the game. White Hall (7-6) showed some life during the next 10 minutes and stayed as close as 10 with 3:26 left in the first half.
