Lanae Riley leads Hoban past Green in girls basketball; Ellet, Kenmore-Garfield earn wins

GIRLS BASKETBALL

Archbishop Hoban 73, Green 39

Lanae Riley continued her impressive senior season with 25 points Monday to lead the host Knights (16-0) to a win.

"Lanae is playing very consistent and great basketball," Hoban coach Pamela Davis said. "She is the No. 1 center in my opinion in the state. She is definitely living up to her first team All-Ohio selection last year [in Division I]."

Hoban led 43-23 at halftime and extended its advantage in the second half.

Hoban's Adrena Gordon had 12 points and five rebounds, and Emma Rasmussen contributed 12 points, four steals and three assists.

Erica King also filled the stat sheet for the Knights with five points, seven steals and four assists, and Izzy Callaway scored five points.

Freshman Jenna Slates scored 10 points and grabbed six rebounds for Green (13-4). Alyssa Ziehler scored six points.

"Green is definitely talented and they have made some noise in the Federal League," Davis said. "We really jelled [Monday night]. I thought that we shared the ball quite well. I had Erica King run the point and she pushed tempo a little bit more, which opened up the floor and didn't have Lanae Riley be double-teamed like she has been the last couple of games.

"Adrena Gordon played an exceptional floor game. She hit the glass real hard and had a nice mid-range game. She was very complementary to Lanae Riley. Emma Rasmussen ran the floor extremely well, put pressure on their defense and hit a couple of 3s."

Ellet 60, East 23

Freshman Caitlyn Holmes recorded her first career double-double with 19 points and 10 rebounds as visiting Ellet (12-5, 8-1) posted a City Series win. Mya Knight added 12 points for Ellet and Rachel Wenzel finished with eight points.

Brooklyn Diener scored 16 points to pace East.

Kenmore-Garfield 63, Buchtel 32

Quimari Shelton scored 30 points, Briana Bunkley had 19 points and Amirah Al-Qaadir contributed eight points to lead the Rams (9-6, 9-1) to a City Series win at Buchtel.

Aaliyah Golden paced the Griffins with 13 points.

Brunswick 72, Kent Roosevelt 54

Journey Hildebrand, Kennedi Neale and Lea Holmes scored 14 points apiece for host Brunswick and Ashlyn Dyson contributed 11 points.

Kent's leading scorers were Ariana Crockett (18 points) and Katie Keller (15 points).
