NORDONIA HAS NO PROBLEMS AGAINST RANGE
HOWLAND OH- The South Range Lady Raiders opened their season at the Toni Ross Foundation Tournament at Howland on Friday night. They fell to Nordonia 48-22.
The Raiders struggled from the tip to get anything going against the Knights. Nordonia’s athleticism and pressure defense caused fits for the Raiders ball handlers. To add to their bad fortune, the Raiders couldn’t seem to buy a bucket from the field. They did however get some very tough shots to fall, showing flashes of their ability to complete tough finishes. On defense the Raiders held the Knights to their lowest offensive output in their young season. The other opponents for Nordonia were Hoover, and Buchtel. Two teams that went far in the tournament a season ago.
Izzy Lamparty led the offense with 8 points and 6 rebounds. Lexi Giles has 6 points and 5 rebounds.
The Raiders will look to bounce back Saturday night as they’ll play the loser of Howland vs Cleveland Shaw in the varsity consolation game. Tip off will be at 6:00 at Howland High School.
