Thumb Tailgater Sports returned with a live internet streaming audio webcast of high school girls basketball action. It featured a Greater Thumb East clash of the
Sandusky Lady Redskins at the Brown City Lady Greendevils.
The Redskins (11-0, 4-0) are still undefeated overall, while the Greendevils (10-2, 3-1) on Tuesday suffered their second loss overall and first loss in league play against the feisty and tough Marlette Lady Red Raiders.
**Also it will be back to back nights of live webcasts. This Friday, Jan.29th; Thumb Tailgater finally ventures back to the Greater Thumb West with coverage of the boys basketball game featuring the Vassar Vulcans at the Cass City Red Hawks. Special guest will be sports reporter Paul Adams of the Huron Daily Tribune.
**Apologies to those who were trying to log on to the girls basketball game between Brown City & Sandusky. We were on live, but not on the Channel 1 link. The Replay of the game is set and ready to listen to again at anytime.
Instead - I (Eddie Fury), made a bone head miscue and put the game on the "Sportsline Live" Link. You can however listen to the replay of the game. This situation has been corrected so it won't happen (cross my fingers) again in the future. All live basketball games will be live on Channel 1, unless we have double coverage on that same very night. Only then will we also have Channel 1 & 2 running with our split coverage.
- In the T.T.S. game of the night, Brown City Lady Greendevils played tough defense against the Sandusky Lady Redskins and at the half led 23-14. But Sandusky solved some of their shooting woes and came back with their own defensive play in the 2nd half and was able to come back to tie it up 25-25 with 3:35 left in the 3rd Q, and then finally taking lead of the game with a Whitney Fox 3 pointer making it 28-27. The last moment that Sandusky led in the game was in opening minutes of the 1st Q, 2-0. The Lady Redskins put on a nice clinic with 36 second half points to the Lady Greendevils 15 points.
Unofficial stats: Leading scorers for Sandusky; Emily Hale 12pt, Whitney Fox & Lauren Krause each with 11pt, and Kelcey Stauffer with 8pt. For Brown City; Samantha Gierman 21pt, Alena Sanson 11pt.
By Quarters
1st Q: Brown City 13, Sandusky 9 / 2nd Q: Brown City 10, Sandusky 5
3rd Q: Sandusky 20, Brown City 9 / 4th Q: Sandusky 16, Brown City 6
Sandusky could now take a stranglehold of the Greater Thumb East League Title with their rematch at Marlette on Thursday, February 3rd. In their first meeting Sandusky defeated the feisty Marlette Lady Red Raiders 48-38.
