The Sullivan girl’s basketball team defeated Fairfield in the semifinal of the Sullivan Class 2A Regional Friday, but could not overcome a No. 2 state-ranked Paris team in the championship game.
In the regional championship, the Redskins fell behind four points after the first quarter, but it was a 16-8 second-quarter run that put Paris on top 36-20 at half.
In the second half, Sullivan was unable to recover and eventually lost 71-46 to the undefeated Tigers (33-0).
For Sullivan, Emily White recorded 16 points, six rebounds and two steals, and Avery Still finished with 10 points, two blocks and six rebounds.     Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
