Allison Cousin hit 2 free throws in the final seconds to give River Mill a 1pt lead. She then stole a inbound pass and made the layup. What a great game it was. Jackie Lyles and Allison Cousin gave a great showing. Just the type of game they need right before conf tourney.
Didn’t Lyles used to at Northeast Guilford and Cousins at Graham?
Yes jackie lyles spent her junior year @ NEG. Now she is back @ River Mill. Allison spent last year @ Graham
Eastern Alamance is an excellent team. I believe their only two losses were both to River Mill.
It would be exciting to see River Mill play any of the top Guilford County teams. Why don’t they?
