ORANGE HANDS RAMS THEIR FIRST LOSS

MINERAL RIDGE OH- The two teams playing in Mineral Ridge on Saturday were coming off of dramatically different directions. While the Rams were off to their best start in a while, Orange struggled the night before against Edgewood 52-20. Playing 2 games in less than 24 hours is never east, but this young Lions team shook off the damage from the night before and handed the Rams their first loss of the season 56-47.

The Lions were led by Rachel Oberster who finished the day with a game-high 20 points. NiKayla Henderson was also in double figures for Orange with 10 points.  Kynnade Bates put in 9 points for the Lions, while Olivia Jackson scored 8.

The Rams were once again led by Ava Hullet who scored 15 points.  Isabella Carkido had a fantastic 4th quarter on her way to 14 points. Olivia Booth was also in double figures finishing with 10.

Orange is now back above .500 with a 3-2 record. They will return home on Tuesday as they take on Hawken.  The Rams will try to bounce back from their first loss of the season on Monday as they will host LaBrae.
