North East Tames Tome School In Girl's Hoops

     After opening the season 1-9, the North East Lady Indians reeled off their third straight victory following a 39-14 win at the Tome School.

     Playing aggressive defense from the outset, the Indians opened an 8-0 lead to start the game.  They ran the lead to 23-5 at halftime behind the strong play of Lexi Stevens, scoring nine of her 15 points in the first half. Khadijah Perry helped the Indian cause with ten points of her own.

     Even with starters sitting on the bench for much of the second half, the Indians racked up 30 rebounds and 17 steals for the game.

   Dominique Gelmann and Maddy Olewine led the Tome Titians in scoring with four points a piece. And, while the Lady Titans were outpaced from the beginning by the more experienced North East squad, they played scrappy defense that forced 23 Indian turnovers for the game.
