Ribault- Orange Park came to play and it showed early in the contest. They took an early lead after one quarter 8-4. Orange Park frustrated Ribault by playing sound defense and clogging lanes. They would take charges when Ribault attempted to drive, and they would execute ball movement on offense to gain the point advantage.

But as many games have transpired this season, Ribault would regain their composure. Taking a slim lead at halftime, Ribault’s leaders took control of the game in the second half, outscoring the Lady Raiders 39-11! Senior Nola Carter was observed rallying her team in the huddle, and she backed that up on the court. She was a crucial part of the defensive effort by Ribault, getting three steals, three blocks, and eight rebounds. The usual suspects in Rennia Davis, Kayla Rogers and DayNeshia Banks led the scoring for Ribault and overcame early foul trouble to do so.
