Devilettes to host NWHS in finals
LEBANON — Scoring the last 15 points of the game at the free throw line, Lebanon rode yet another strong rebounding performance in Monday’s 50-39 win over Rossview in the Region 5-AAA semifinals at Campbell Brandon Gymnasium.
The Devilettes out-rebounded Rossview 28-19 with junior post Meioshe Mason pulling down nine caroms and senior forward Avery Harris clearing five rebounds.
“If you play defense and rebound, you’re going to give yourself a chance to win in tournament basketball,” Coach Cory Barrett said.
Guards Addie Porter and Terri Reynolds carried much of the offensive load as Porter scored 19 points (12-of-15 at the line) and Reynolds added 17 (two 3-pointers).
Porter chipped in with five rebounds, five steals and three assists as the Devilettes won for a seventh consecutive outing.
Rossview (17-8) fell behind 7-0 and never caught up — trailing 23-15 at intermission and 37-21 headed into the fourth quarter.
The Lady Hawks fired in four 3-pointers over the final right minutes of play, two from Laci Edwards, to out-score LHS 18-13 in the fourth quarter.
Edwards paced Rossview with 12 points and Sydney-James Desroches finished with eight points and nine rebounds.
LEBANON (50): Terri Reynolds 17, Asia Barr 5, Addie Porter 19, Avery Harris 4, Meioshe Mason 5.
ROSSVIEW (39): Chelsea Williams 5, Emani Collier 7, Laci Edwards 11, Sydney-James Desroches 8, Audrey Padgett 8.
