It didn’t take Linton long to bounce back from its disappointing setback to North Knox.

The Lady Miners built a lead against the Lady Warriors but let it slip away in the final eight minutes on Thursday, Nov. 12, and lost 42-38.

But Coach Garrett Vandeventer’s team made sure the same thing didn’t happen again on Saturday at Edgewood.

The Lady Miners built a 41-23 margin going into the fourth quarter and held on for a 45-37 victory.

The win upped Linton’s record to 2-1 going into Tuesday, Nov. 17’s home nonconference game with Barr-Reeve.

Linton allowed only one field goal in the opening quarter — a 3-pointer by Katelyn Ripley — while the Lady Miners scored 15. Audrey Sullivan contributed seven of her game-high 20 in the first eight minutes. That helped Vandeventer’s team build a 15-3 lead after the first quarter.

The Lady Miners still led 26-17 at halftime, and their defense was on display again in the third. Linton gave up only six points in the third, while Sullivan (six points) and Marleigh Rehmel (six points) spearheaded the offense.

Edgewood held Linton to four points in the fourth quarter — a 3-pointer from Sullivan and free throw by Rehmel — but the Lady Miners hung on for the road victory.

Rehmel and Sophie Lower both contributed 10 points for the Lady Miners, Layla Gennicks and Aaliyah Samm both had two, and Laila Fusco had one.

Ripley led Edgewood with 19 points.

Linton also won the junior varsity game, 31-16.

Anniston Goodman had 15 points to lead Linton, Katie Wall had five, Laila Fusco three, Payton Leffler two, and Halle Smith two.
