The Franklin County Lady Wildcats hosted the Richmond Lady Red Devils last Tuesday evening. The outcome favored the home side, 44-33.
Franklin County jumped out to an early lead, going up 10-4 midway through the first quarter. Bailey Kaiser hit a basket before Richmond went on a four-point run that ended the frame with a buzzer beater from Madison Sonsini; it was 12-8 FC after one period.
The Lady Cats put up four quick points to start the second quarter, then Kassidy Schell hit a three-pointer, but Richmond hung around and cut the lead to five. Schell added a free throw before the half and FC led 20-14.
Richmond scored the first six points in the third quarter to tie up the game. Lady Cat Nicole Mears added a putback basket to stop the run, Kiersten Schell added two more points to FC's total and the Lady Cats held a six-point lead again. The teams traded baskets for the next two minutes until Richmond ended the frame on a 5-0 run and the score was 26-25 through three periods.
The fourth quarter began and Ki. Schell was whistled for two quick fouls before any shots were even attempted. Lauren Stacy put in a three-pointer and Mears hit a shot to give FC a 32-25 lead with half a period remaining to play. Richmond closed the lead to a single possession, but the Lady Cats drew fouls and finished the game off at the line -hitting 12 of 15 to win the game.
The Lady Cats were led in scoring by Mears with 15, Ka. Schell 13, Josie Rolfes 6, Ki. Schell 5, Stacy 3, Kaiser 2. Richmond was led by Sonsini with 16 points.
The Lady Cats are now 8-2 and were back in action Tuesday when they faced conference foe Batesville (4-4). The result was not available prior to deadline. A visit to Oldenburg Academy's Hillenbrand Family Feldhaus is in store Friday ahead of holiday tourney season.
