STAFF REPORT
The Sesser-Valier Red Devils and cross-county rival Zeigler-Royalton Tornadoes renewed their rivalry Friday night in Sesser. And, the two battled in Black Diamond Conference play as usual. When the final horn sounded, Sesser-Valier was a 48-30 winner.
A massive third quarter by Tyler Baxter blocked off any attempts by the Tornadoes to cut into a six point Red Devil lead at the half of 20-14. Baxter ripped the nets for 9 points in the frame. That was one more than ZR could muster as a team, as coach Chip Basso’s team went to lockdown mode on defense. In both the third and fourth quarters only 8 points was tallied by the visitors, keeping them from making a strong comeback.
Sesser-Valier scoring: Baxter 14,Hood 11, Marlo and Lingle 7 each, Kulich 5, Eubanks 4.
