The gymnasium at Sulphur High School is not a place that brings back good memories to the Lady Redskins and Coach Chad Rumer. However, it feels much better on the ride home after a win. On February 5, 2021, the Lady Redskins won against the Sulphur Bulldogs. The final score was 58 to 36.
First quarter action had scoring from five players, this is typically a good way to start a game. That added with a good defensive effort and that makes a 14 to 4 lead at the buzzer. Avri Weeks was 1 of 2 from the line. Ryan Herndon hit a three and a field goal, Emi O’Steen had two field goals. Raegan Davis and Kaya Weibner each had field goals.
The scoring in the second quarter was not as spread out. Herndon had two more three-pointers. Kamry Bohannon had a nice three and had a free throw. O’Steen was 3 of 4 from the free throw line. The Lady Redskins were still in command with a 10-point lead going into the locker room.
Third quarter action had Weeks getting busy. She had five buckets and was 2 of 2 from the line. Herndon had another three and had a field goal.
