 The Times-Gazette Scoring in double-digits in all four quarters, the Whiteoak Lady ‘Cats showed vast improvement on Thursday night against West Union, but came up just short, as WHS was defeated 73-62 at West Union High School. WHS (0-6) was led by freshman Jessie Gilliland, who finished with a career-high 16 points, making seven shots from the field. The freshman finished 2-of-4 from the free-throw line. Gilliland also had four assists, four rebounds and two steals. “Jessie (Gilliland) had a super game for us,” Whiteoak head coach Steve Smith said. “She didn’t start after she played some in the reserve game and then she scores 16 in three quarters in the varsity game. She was real aggressive and she went to the basket.” Junior Emily Hargett finished with a double-double, scoring 12 points and gaining 12 boards. Both teams battled into the second half, where WHS cut the WUHS lead down to four points at the end of the third. “They (West Union) went up 11 in the third, but we went to man-to-man defense and cut it down to three,” Smith said. “In the fourth it stayed a three-to-four point game, but we had to start fouling at the end.” WHS junior Ashleigh Blair made three 3-pointers on Thursday. West Union made seven free throws in the fourth quarter. WHS will play again on Monday, Dec. 29 against Fairland in the Northwest High School Holiday Tournament.
