The annual Girl's ORVC Varsity
Basketball Jamboree was held Saturday,
November 5 in the Switzerland County
High School gym at Vevay.
Contending in two eight minute
quarters during the evening, ORVC
teams matched up to see what the
competitors look like this season.
In the opening quarter of play,
the host Switzerland County Lady
Pacers squared off against the
Milan Lady Indians. The Lady Pacers
controlled the tip off but failed
to score on their first possession.
Indian senior Kiley MacVey scored
one of two free throws to put the
first point of the season on the
board for Milan.
Senior Lady Pacer Ashley Chase
scored the first field goal of
the evening and led the Pacer team
to the 15-12 edge at the quarters
end.
The Lady Indians were then paired
to play the South Ripley Lady Raiders
under the direction of their new
head coach Steve Snyder.
In opening, Raider Kristen Huss
controlled the tip at mid court.
The Raiders quickly moved the ball
to Beth Stratton for the first
two Raider points of the season
in exhibition.
Emily Schmaltz of the Indian squad
scored the first field goal for
them and was fouled on the shot.
Converting the three point play,
Milan took the early lead. A couple
of long range 3's by Raider junior
Ciara McGuire and senior Kristen
Huss put them on top at the end
21-20 over the Indians.
The Lady Raiders were next pitted
against the Southwestern Lady Rebels.
Rebel senior center, Kayla Hay
controlled the mid court tip leading
to a quick 2 point drive down the
lane for a lay up and Rebel lead.
The Lady Raiders quickly answered
with a Kristen Huss field goal
and foul by Rebel Oliver that Huss
converted for the 3-2 Raider lead.
The Raider starters trailed 9-3
when the second group entered the
game. A two point field goal and
foul shot conversion by Erin Webster
brought the game to 9-6 when the
third group went in for the Raiders.
The Lady Rebels quickly ran the
score up to 16-8 before at 1:38
the Raider starters reentered and
brought the game to a 16-14 score
at the horn.
Southwestern played their second
quarter of exhibition against Jac-Cen-Del's
Lady Eagles. Kayla Hay controlled
the tip that ended up a SW turnover
before they could score. The Lady
Eagles turned the ball over also.
The first score of the game was
to the Lady Rebels, by Hay, fouled
by
Eagle Emily Einhaus, dropping a pair
of free throws in for a Rebel 2-0
lead. The Lady Rebels took a 6-0
lead before Emily Einhaus dropped
a pair of free throws in to get the
Lady Eagles going. The Rebels won
19-8.
The Lady Eagles battled the Shawe
Lady Hilltoppers. The Lady Eagles
controlled the tip and Abby Lauber
scored for the 2-0 lead. The Eagles
went to 8-0 before Shawe's Maria
Berry dropped the three through
for 8-3. The Lady Eagles won 12-5.
The Shawe Lady Hilltoppers faced
the Rising Sun Lady Shiners. The
Shiners controlled the tip, but
a Shawe steal led to a Jaclyn Armbrister
foul, giving Shawe the ball out
of bounds.
Shawe junior, Alyssa Hall scored
2 from the free throw line to open
the scoring. Danika Bowman of the
Lady Shiners scored a field goal
for the tie at 2. The Lady Shiners
won 6-5 but Shawe didn't play junior
Hall and freshman Ebony Inskeep
on the floor at the same time.
These two have a lot of hustle
and drive and may fool some teams
this season with a little help.
The final quarter of the evening
pitted the Rising Sun Lady Shiners
against the host Switzerland County
Lady Pacers.
The tip was controlled by the
Shiners and freshman Jaclyn Armbrister
put the first pair on the board
for the lead. Armbrister fouled
Sophomore Lady Pacer Tanya Sefton
who missed both free throws.
At 6:58, Lady Pacer Ashley Chase
tied the game at 2.
The Switzerland County Lady Pacers
went on to win by the score of
13-10.
