Lisbon takes control of Tier 1
LISBON — Lisbon Lady Blue Devils head coach Jamie Entrikin needed someone to step up in the fourth quarter of Monday’s Inter-Tri County League Tier-1 battle with United Local. Luckily for Lisbon, Mindy Jackson answered the call, scoring nine points in the final eight minutes as the Lady Blue Devils kept their perfect record alive dropping United 48-37. Jackson, who is affectionately referred to Chief by her teammates, said the win was something special. “It’s exciting, we really wanted this game,” she said after her game-high 20-point performance. “It’s really big. It’s amazing, we knew we could do it.” While the members of the Lady Blue Devils’ squad knew they could topple the favored Lady Eagles, to those watching, it appeared as if the sure win was slowly slipping away.
