Ripley @ North Adams (1-17-09)

[slamdunk]

This is a make-up game from a previously postponed game. The game will be played following the conclusion of the Boys' Varsity game against Eastern. The start time for the JV girls will be approx. 5:30.

This should be a very good game. North Adams CAN NOT come out like they did against Manchester and expect to be up by 1 at halftime like they were on Thursday. It is going to have to be a great effort on the Lady Devils part to win this one. Ripley can play very well at times and could give the Lady Devils fits if they don't come out with some energy.

I look for North Adams to come out strong tomorrow and pull out the win by 8.

North Adams came out strong tonight. They had a so so 2nd quarter, but looked better in the 2nd half. NA struggled on the boards a good bit, but a great effort by Karli Beasley tonight sealed the deal for the Lady Devils.

North Adams has West Union next on Thursday and then the huge showdown with Lynchburg on Saturday.

The Lady Devils looked better against a good Ripley teams however shot selection and turnovers still seem to be a problem. Beasley had an outstanding game with 30 points if I'm not mistaken.

Karli finished the game with 32 points, including 9-9 from the line. The team as a whole shot well from the line, going 22-28. Great second half effort by the entire team. The Lady Devils need to take care of business Thursday night at West Union before heading to Lynchburg for the big showdown Saturday afternoon.

I see where Lynchburg beat Greenfield-Mcclain over the weekend. Saturday is going to be a big game for the Lady Devils. Should be a good game and hopefully the Lady Devils can come home with a huge win.
