EAST ROCKINGHAM — Tatiana Little scored 11 of her game-high 16 points in the third quarter to lead host Rohanen past Ellerbe Monday night in girls’ middle school basketball action.
The Rebels led 23-2 at halftime and limited the Wildcats to no more than two points in any quarter — and zero in the second — en route to victory.
Dannon Shepard scored the game’s first six points and finished with eight on the night. Other scorers for the Rebels included Tasheka Harrington (five), Haleigh Poston (two) and Brianna Wall (two).
Ellerbe was nearly shut out again in the fourth quarter; the team’s only basket of the period came with 0.18 seconds left on the clock.
The Wildcats play back-to-back when they host Spring Hill at 4 p.m. on Tuesday. Rohanen, meanwhile, gears up for the final two games of the regular season on the road. The Rebels travel to Spring Hill on Wednesday and play at Hamlet on Thursday.
