Indian Time - A Voice from the Eastern Door

The Lady Raiders had just come off a great win over Franklin Academy and hoped to avenge their previous loss to the Lady Shamrocks. However it wasn’t in the stars as the Lady Shamrocks shut down the Lady Raiders and claimed a 42-19 NAC interdivisional victory at home.

At the end of the first quarter the Shamrocks were leading by only two points. In the second and third quarters the Shamrocks really went to work and limited the scoring of the Raiders to four points and six points respectively. In the fourth quarter Massena was scoreless while Salmon River generated nine points.

Jaiden Mitchell, one of SR's younger players is performing very well this season.

“I thought our team played exceptional defense,” stated Shamrock Coach Karen Francis. “The goal was to prevent an inside game and shut down any three point shooters with an aggressive defensive attack and I know we accomplished that.” “I think our solid defense created a lot of offensive opportunity with fast breaks,” continued Francis.

Anna Kelly led the Shamrocks with 12 points and 11 rebounds. Taylor Francis followed with eight points while Jaiden Mitchell, Abby Kelly (6 steals, 4 assists) and Rylie Mainville (10 rebounds) contributed six points apiece. Karyss Terrance added four points and grabbed seven rebounds.

Alisha Jacobs led all scorers with 13 points and scored all six points in the third quarter from beyond the three-point arc. Marissa Manley scored the only four points in the second quarter and five points overall. Megan Poupore added two points on a free throw.

“I’m very proud of the effort and tenacity of our girls. Overall, they played extremely well. This was a great win for us” said Francis.
