Basketball Recap: Richland Snags 17th Win in Last 19 Games

Wayne County typically has all the answers at home, but on Saturday Richland proved too difficult a challenge. They came out on top against the Wayne County Wildcats by a score of 50-40. This was a revenge game for the Raiders: when they faced off against the Wildcats back in January, they had to take a 46-42 defeat.

Bailey Blair continued her habit of posting crazy stat lines, going 5-for-9 to rack up 21 points. Katelyn Bass was another key player, putting up three points in addition to five assists and five boards.

Richland is on a roll lately: they've won 17 of their last 19 games. That's provided a nice bump to their 28-4 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 54.9 points over those games. Wayne County's loss ended a 17-game streak of wins at home dating back to last season and dropped them to 21-3.

Looking ahead, Richland will take on Copper Basin at 12:45 p.m. on Wednesday. Copper Basin will roll in looking for their 12th straight victory, something Richland surely won't give up without a fight. Wayne County does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
