Oak Hill 59, James Monroe 52
OAK HILL – The Red Devils made five of eight free throws down the stretch, four by Taysia Gray, to pull out the win over No. 6 James Monroe
Cara Smith led the Red Devils with 14 points, Gray had 11 and Kasey Compton, who had three 3s to end the half, including one from half court, had 11.
Maggie Boroski had 20 to lead the Mavericks, Ava Dunlap added 13.
Oak Hill was celebrating the renovation of the Lilly Center/Fred Ferri Jr. Court.
“We preached to the girls this week, ‘Let’s go ahead and get that first win on the new court, don’t let the boys get it,’” Compton, a former player for the Red Devils, said, laughing. “Let’s let us get it.
“We’ve got a new court, a new facility, it was a big win not only for the girls, but the community. Fred Ferri was here (and) coach Ferri was my coach growing up here. So, it’s always nice to have him sit back and watch what we’re doing here.”
