No.8 Saints sail by No.14 Panthers
It’s the time of year when the Xavier girls seem to be fully in their state tournament frame of mind.
“Rotation, rotation,” yelled hardly-ever-satisfied Coach Tom Lilly at the start of the second quarter Saturday night in a Class 4A regional semifinal against visiting Mount Pleasant.
The Saints were up 18-2 at the time.
Junior sharpshooter McKenna Andersen promptly drilled three straight 3-pointers from the same spot in the left corner in a span of just two minutes.
“We just stuck to our game plan,” she said afterward. “And my teammates got me the ball in an open spot.”
