Rams Hand 7th and 8th Grade Girls First Loss

By: Todd Enders

The Lady Rams traveled to Wynford last night and handed both the 7th and 8th grade girls their first losses of the season. In 7th grade action last night, the Royals were defeated 36-24. The Royals trailed by 5 at halftime, 15-10, after dealing with a very aggressive Ram full court press. Upper Sandusky slowly increased their lead to 12 by the end of the third period, 28-16. Still continuing to press full court, the Royals made a little run during the final period but were not able to decrease the Ram’s double digit lead. The only two scorers for Wynford were Alexis White with 20 and Olivia Grove with 4. The Lady Royals fall to 2-1 on the season. 

In the second game of the evening, the Upper Rams full court press was more than the 8th grade girls could handle. The Royals, 2-1 overall, had difficulty getting the ball across half court committing numerous turnovers leading to Upper’s evening of dominance. Upper jumped out to a 13-0 lead before the Royals managed to add their first point of the evening at the foul line. The Rams never relinquished the lead and managed to defeat the Lady Royals by a final of 40-18. Shaylin Miller added 7 points for the Royals while Sierra Richardson added 6. The 8th grade Lady Royals fall to 2-1 on the season and both teams are back in action on Thursday at Galion.
