Sacred Heart girls 47, SE Saline 45
In a back-and-forth game where neither team led by more than six points, Sacred Heart went in front for good, 43-40, on Addie Lee’s 3-pointer midway through the fourth quarter and survived a potential game winner from Southeast to hang on.
With the victory, Sacred Heart improved to 7-2, while Southeast fell to 5-3.
Two Edyn Sharpton free throws stretched Sacred Heart’s lead to 47-42 with 2:10 left, but Southeast pulled within two on a Taryn Goetz 3-pointer at the 28-second mark. The Trojans then forced a turnover with 4.4 seconds on the clock, and after a timeout got an open 3-point look that missed at the buzzer.
Addie Lee led Sacred Heart with 18 points, including four 3-pointers, with Sharpton adding 12 points and Emmy Lee eight. Regan Duran had a game-high 20 points and Goetz 12 for Southeast.
