Lady Neers get Drenched by Raiders

The Lady Pioneers travelled to Union tonight for a match-up with the Raiders of Ryle. The Frosh and JV teams set the tone with W’s against the Raiders. 

The varsity team ends up falling short on the night as they go down by a final score of 53-34. SK fell behind big early on as Ryle picked up several buckets on fast breaks as they jumped out 15-4. The Neers would trail at half 29-16. SK would trim the lead down to single digits as thy got as close as 7 in the third but trailed 37-28 at the end of the quarter. Ryle would get things going again in the 4th quarter and stretch the lead out to teen+.

A strange moment happened in the 4th quarter as a Ryle player knocked the SK Gatorade cooler off of the stand into the floor. Yep, 5 gallons of ice water all over the place. The game was delayed for several minutes as it took Whitt and some of the Ryle staff a while to clean up the mess.

SK has another tough match-up on Thursday as they host the paNDAs from Notre Dame.
