Jayliegh Robins had 13 points, 10 steals, and 13 tips, North Harrison’s junior high girls stole 25, and the Shamrocks won their first game of the year, 22-14 over Pattonsburg Thursday night. Robins nearly had a quadruple double that night as she added 9 boards as well. North Harrison took a big lead into halftime, fended off a Pattonsburg charge in the third quarter, and came away with the win. The game was North Harrison’s first win of the year after dropping to powerhouse Mercer and then dropping a heartbreaker to South Harrison. Last year, the Shamrocks started off 0-3 before going 10-3 the rest of the way; this time, they flipped the script on Pattonsburg and downed them.

Despite eight turnovers in the first period, North Harrison controlled the boards and slowly pulled away to a 6-0 lead after one. Baily Briggs had a putback and a free throw after a third chance. Another third chance possession led to a Halle Morgan free throw, while Deva Wallace found Jayliegh Robins for the other two.

North Harrison missed a ton in the second quarter, but got a drive from Robins early to make it 8-0. Later, after Pattonsburg’s best player Mekenzie Turner got her third foul, Deva Wallace made the post of a third possession offensive board to make it 10-0 at the 2:45 mark, a lead which the Shamrocks took into the break. Out of their 10 points, six were on extra possessions from offensive boards.
Robins’ drive early in the third put the Shamrocks up 14-2, but then Pattonsburg started beating them down the floor and getting some easy baskets to get back into the game. Despite Turner picking up her fourth foul, Emily Henry’s shot made it 14-9 after three. It didn’t help North Harrison that they missed a ton of free throws during the game.

Pattonsburg had a chance to make it one possession to start the fourth, but Robins got loose for a layup after a Shamrock stop in transition at the 5:25 mark. Shortly afterwards, Turner and Jenna Heath, Pattonsburg’s two best players, fouled out and North Harrison was able to take control again.
