Landrum’s women didn’t play their best game against visiting Blue Ridge on Tuesday, Dec. 13 evening, but the Cardinals did enough good things to turn back the Fighting Tigers, 57-40 at Landrum. “When you win, and it’s not pretty, you’re doing something right,” Landrum head coach Deon Brice remarked. The Cardinals advance to 8-0. In this photo, Landrum’s Sareah Harris (#20, with ball) is being pursued by Blue Ridge’s Klayton Mathis. Leslie Hardin (15 points) and Ellen Boatwright (14) led the Cardinals. Mathis scored 11 to lead Blue Ridge.
