Jayliegh Robins Goes Beast Mode as Shamrock Girls Win Second Game

North Harrison’s girls have had trouble even getting a team on the court following their 38-36 win over Winston for the first game of the year. They had to cancel their game with Lamoni, and then played a forgettable 57-13 loss to Stanberry. But with just five players dressed out Tuesday for the game with Southwest Livingston, and pitted against a team that was 3-3 for the year, Jayliegh Robins went beast mode, getting 22 points, 15 boards, and 6 steals as the Shamrocks had a surprisingly easy time of it with the Wildcats, getting the 42-14 win at the Holiday Hoops classic in Trenton.

Trendi Johnson knocked down a shot from the wing to give North Harrison an early 3-0 lead, but Southwest came out in a press, which made sense since North Harrison had struggled against teams that had pressed them. But this time, the Shamrocks passed right through the press, getting the ball reversed and into their offense. Jayliegh Robins scored off a drive, Halle Morgan scored in the low post after Jayliegh got the ball in the high post, and then Jayliegh carried the team on her shoulders for the rest of the period, posting up at will, knocking down a 3-pointer, and adding a free throw. By the time the dust had settled, North Harrison was up 15-0 after one quarter.

Jaci Davis and Trendi Johnson knocked down 3-pointers at the start of the second and Jayliegh scored four more, giving her team a 25-0 lead at the 5:32 mark of the second quarter. North Harrison was never seriously threatened after that, and the Wildcats never got it under 20. North Harrison only had 3 turnovers in the first half despite facing full court pressure much of the half.

Fatigue set in for the next two and a half quarters as North Harrison couldn’t rest any of their players given that they had only five. But at the end of the game, Jayliegh found her second wind, getting six more to close out strongly.
