The River Queen basketball team enjoyed a sweep of the Davenport Central Blue Devils on Friday night. The JV team started the night off quickly with quick scoring and intense defense leading to a 48-16 win. It was a great team effort with many girls getting into the scoring column and also taking care of business on the defensive side. The Varsity Queens also came out quickly with intense defense and fast paced energy shooting 41% from the field and winning 64-23. Leading the way for the Queens in scoring was Shayna Nettles and Aubrey Fergurson with 13, Alli Haskell 11, and Carryn Sattler with 9. Fergurson also had 15 boards and Haskell had 9 assists. The Queens play tomorrow night at home against the Bettendorf Bulldogs. Come cheer on the Queens!
