Lady Cats defeat Shawnee, fall to Hillsboro in weekend saga
The Lady Cats had a very busy weekend, playing games last Saturday and Sunday.
The Lady Cats split the two games, winning at home on Saturday against Shawnee (67-44) and losing to Hillsboro (62-51) on Sunday in the Battle of the 614 at Ohio Dominican University.
Before playing Hillsboro, North Union picked up wins in its first four games, using a very up-tempo style on both offense and defense.
“For us to be successful we have to try and play at a fast pace,” Head Coach Mitchell Loomis said on Saturday. “By playing fast we are taking some risks but if we can put people in vulnerable spots we can win possessions.”
That is exactly what the Lady Cats did against Shawnee.
