BLUE DEVILS COLLECT ANOTHER BIG WIN

LISBON, OH – It was a big rivalry night in Lisbon Thursday night as the Lisbon Lady Blue Devils hosted the Leetonia Lady Bears. Although it was a rivalry game, both teams came together to show support for the Melina Michelle Edenfield Foundation. The foundation was created to spread awareness and raise money for a cure for Diffuse Midline Glioma (DMG) and Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG) pediatric brain tumors after Melina Michelle Edenfield passed away due to DMG in June of 2020. It was a special night for both teams, but maybe a little more special for Lisbon as they found a way to get a victory over Leetonia in the EOAC. Leetonia did have a 26-18 lead over Lisbon, but the Lady Blue Devils found their stride late to cut that lead. The game would become a back and forth affair until 30 seconds left in the final frame where Lisbon’s Cami Freeland hit the game-winning three to secure the conference win over Leetonia, 41-40.

For Lisbon, Parker Henthorne put up a double-double and led the way with 20 points and 12 rebounds. Cami Freeland contributed 10, and Serinity Stacey added 7 on the night

For Leetonia, Allison Francosky led the way with 14 points. McKendra Cole contributed 13 and Kayla Kaminsky tacked on 9 points on the night,

Lisbon will be back in action on Monday, as they are set to host Southern. Leetonia will also be back in action on Monday as they will travel to Valley Christian. Don’t miss it on YSN!
