WAYNESBURG 无毛视频� Waynesburg Central jumped out to an early lead and never looked back in defeating visiting Carmichaels, 67-20, in a non-section girls basketball game Saturday afternoon.
Freshman Kaley Rohanna scored 11 of her game-high 20 points in the first quarter and Clara Paige Miller added 15 points as the Lady Raiders improved to 2-0 in both teams无毛视频� first game since winter season activities resumed last Monday.

Waynesburg head coach Dave Sarra and his daughter, junior guard Nina Sarra, were not available for the game. Lady Raiders assistant coach Natalie Blair guided the team against the Lady Mikes.
无毛视频淚 think the girls did a really good job of coming in the gym these four days that we were able to practice and focusing and getting back into it,无毛视频� Blair said. 无毛视频淭hey went out there and played as well as could be expected in the situation we无毛视频檙e in.无毛视频�
Waynesburg无毛视频檚 pressure defense forced a slew of early turnovers by Carmichaels as the hosts took a 22-5 lead after one quarter.
无毛视频淲e were doing a three-quarter court press and pressuring the ball and we were able to get some steals and some transition baskets,无毛视频� Blair said.
Several of those turnovers turned into layups for Rohanna.
无毛视频淭hey did play very tough defense on us but our girls were definitely nervous at the beginning,无毛视频� said first-year Carmichaels coach Chelsea Ulery. 无毛视频淚 think once they settled down they started to shoot more and play the game a lot better. We do have to figure out how to get the ball around on offense.无毛视频�
Ulery was impressed with Rohanna who was 5-for-5 from the foul line and hit one 3-pointer.
无毛视频淭heir point guard was very good,无毛视频� Ulery said. 无毛视频淪he definitely had an impact.无毛视频�
Rohanna wasn无毛视频檛 the only freshman who hurt the Lady Mikes as Addison Blair also hit double digits with 10 points.
All 11 of Waynesburg无毛视频檚 players saw action as the Lady Raiders extended their lead to 37-13 at halftime and 50-17 after three quarters.
无毛视频淭hese girls have been showing up every day in the gym and working hard so it was nice to be able to get everyone in the game and get some playing time,无毛视频� coach Blair said.
无毛视频淚t was a great team effort today.无毛视频�
Waynesburg put nine players in the scoring column with Riley Moreland tallying seven points, followed by Brenna Benke with five, Colleen Lemley with four and Emma Kindervater, Lily Rush and Emily Bennett each with two points.
A bright spot for the Lady Mikes was Mia Ranieri who made a 3-pointer and all six of her free throws in scoring 11 points before fouling out.
无毛视频淢ia无毛视频檚 the leader,无毛视频� Ulery pointed out. 无毛视频淪he can do it all. She did very well. She无毛视频檚 a tough girl.无毛视频�
The Lady Mikes played hard the entire game despite having only six players. Emma Hyatt followed Ranieri with five points, Emma Holaren added three and Sophia Zalar had one.
While the Lady Raiders have two games under their belt it was the first for Carmichaels.
无毛视频淭his week was the first week we actually had all of our girls come to practice,无毛视频� Ulery said. 无毛视频淚t无毛视频檚 very tough after that long of a break.聽We had to get a lot in in a short period of time, and I无毛视频檓 sure it was the same for a lot of teams.
无毛视频淚 think now that we无毛视频檝e got through a game we无毛视频檒l do a lot better.无毛视频�
