Sophomore Skylar White had a big first night for the River Ridge girls’ basketball team. With 27 points, she fronted the Timberwolves’ performance on their home court in a non-conference showing against Wauzeka-Steuben.
White’s efforts in addition to her teammates’ contributions added up to the win, 53-37.
“The first half, we got some good looks back and forth out of their zone,” River Ridge coach Caron Townsend commented. “But the second half, we got a little tired. Skylar had two or three steals right off the bat in the second half and that grabbed the momentum for us but we gave up 20 points in that half.”
Townsend said her girls need to get in shape so they don’t have such a second-half drop as the season continues.
Adding to White’s points on the board, River Ridge’s Maria Breuer posted 12 points for the night.
