South Gallia 59, Symmes Valley 52, OT

WILLOW WOOD – The Symmes Valley Lady Vikings are getting tired of working overtime.

The Lady Vikings played overtime for the third time in their last four games and it was another loss as they fell 59-52 to the South Gallia Lady Rebels Monday in a non-league game.

"They did a real good job on the offensive boards. They got a lot of points inside," Vikings coach Rob Bess said. "We played hard, we just missed some shots."

Symmes Valley’s downfall came from its shooting. The Vikes were just 17 of 56 from the field for 30.4 percent.

Rachel Waugh had 21 points and Stacy White 20 to lead South Gallia.

Renee Donahoe had 13 points and Rebecca Mount 12 for Symmes Valley. Mount also had 10 rebounds while Holly Wilson had four assists and three steals.

Down three with 17 seconds left in regulation, Wilson hit a 3-pointer to tie the game.

A foul sent White to the line and she converted both shots for a two-point Rebel lead with sevens seconds left.

Wilson hurried the ball down the floor and found Donahoe for a layup to tie the game and send it into overtime.

South Gallia got out in front by five points in overtime and the Lady Vikings were forced to foul. The Rebels converted 7-of-8 at the line to seal the win.

Donahoe scored six the first quarter as Symmes Valley took an 11-8 lead. The lead was 23-19 at the half.

Waugh scored eight points the third quarter as South Gallia got within 34-31, and then White scored seven in the fourth quarter to rally the Rebels to the tie.

White and Waugh combined for nine points in overtime.

Symmes Valley, 3-10, plays at Coal Grove Wednesday.
