BENTON-  Rangerette guard Ally Gischer eclipsed the 1,000 point mark as Benton fell to a very good Herrin Lady Tiger club, 42-30 last night at Rich Herrin Gym.

Ally Gisher said, “She was super excited to achieve the milestone. I was not a big scorer when I entered into high school, and I worked hard in improving my part of the game.”

She had this to say about Rangerette Coach Andy Sloan.  “He has the perfect balance of giving instruction, and being approachable when you need to.  I could not imagine playing for anyone else.”

Gischer led the Rangerettes with 12 points, Alexis Abney added nine on the night and Kaylee Pedigo added seven.

Hannah Grotauge led Herrin with 12 points on the night.  I think it is very noteworthy of the Rangerette defense that she was held to 12.

The Rangerettes are in action Thursday night at home in an intra -division SIRR game against DuQuoin
