CLARION, Pa. (D9Sports.com)— With eight screws and a metal plate to help fix a broken finger on her left hand, Karns City junior LeeAnn Gibson turned in a playoff-worthy performance.
After missing the Lady Gremlins’ final three games because of the injury, Gibson returned to the lineup for Wednesday night’s District 9 Class AA semifinal game against Moniteau and scored a season-high 22 points in a 49-29 win at Clarion Area High School.
Gibson was 7-for-12 from the field, made all seven of her free throws and grabbed a team-high seven rebounds.
“It was very nice to have Ms. Gibson back in the lineup,” Lady Gremlins head coach Dave Kerschbaumer smiled. “She’s one of the toughest girls I’ve coached. She’s got all the hardware in her finger, but she can game it and block some things out. I know she’s still hurting, but she plays through stuff and she’s a trooper.”
