The Lady Redskins were aggressive on the ball and rebounds during the Neoga game January 9. Above Chloe Riley and Ester Miller made sure Neoga’s Jaycie Roy didn’t get away clean after a rebound. Miller and Riley contributed to the defensive effort on the floor and backboards. Miller scored seven of her nine points from the free stripe with Riley scoring three of her five points from the free throw line.

Coming into Saturday’s non-conference matchup against Neoga Sheri McCain had her team ready. “It’s always been a battle. We lost to them in a hard fought game last year. That was a tough loss for us at their place. This year coming into it I knew they had the edge, but I just wanted to see my girls fight. I told the girls to step up and do your job.”
The Lady Redskins were down early 4-0, but rallied back to take a 7-4 lead at the two minute mark in the first quarter. Sophomore Lizzie Green hit a three pointer from the corner and sophomore Laine Cameron added two free throws to provide the shortlived lead.
Green finished with 11 points to lead all Sullivan scorers. Neoga proceeded to go on a 7-1 run, taking an 11-8 lead into the second quarter.
McCain was pleased with how her team stuck to the game plan. “We were trying to stop their go to players. We were trying to focus on Ec Thies, and I thought we did a nice job shutting her down with six points in the first half.”     Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
