South Ripley victorious over Jac-Cen-Del in Turkey Shoot 60-51
SPORTS EDITOR
The annual Boys Basketball Turkey-Shootout rivalry game between South Ripley Raiders and the Jac-Cen-Del Eagles was no less of a battle then anticipated.
The early bragging rights of a victory certainly play a factor in the compelling drive of both teams along with the opportunity to collect the Ripley Publishing Traveling Pride Trophy, which most generally finds itself on the line for this game.
Next to have an opportunity to gain trophy possession from the victorious South Ripley Raiders will be the Milan Indians as they travel to SRHS on January 19, to battle the hosting Raiders.
SR Claims Varsity Win
A "Take it to 'em" game was played by 6' 6" South Ripley Raider senior center Dillan McQueen, all the way to victory in spite of 6' 9" JCD senior middle man Connor Hubbard's defensive efforts.
Proving to be the man in charge for the game, McQueen opened eyes as he hustled from start to finish, while producing a 30 point scoring effort and hawking defense against his Eagle foe.
Also stepping up to the pressure was Raider varsity freshman starter point guard Cody Samples who stayed calm and played smart in the early season major battle.
The addition of senior teammates Avery Halcomb with 14 and Zach Pickett with 10 points, the three acquired enough points to win the game with 54 as JCD scored 51 for the game. However, Raider input added another six for a 60-51 final score at the final horn's sounding.
