Prep Report: Triton Central battles for 'Pink Out' game win over Lawrenceburg

Triton Central senior Hailey Harris made her final home game and her final “Pink Out” game a memorable one.

Harris hit four three-pointers, including three in the second half, to lead Class 2A, No. 14 Triton Central to a 54-47 win Friday over Lawrenceburg.

Triton Central’s annual “Pink Out” game has raised over $200,000 in more than a decade and always takes an emotional toll on those in attendance, including the players. Breast cancer survivors are celebrated prior to the start of the varsity game with a parade around the gymnasium which is decorated in pink.

Once the game started, Triton Central and Lawrenceburg battled through the opening half and ended it tied 26-all.

Harris hit two 3s in the third quarter that saw the Tigers fall behind 38-36 going into the final quarter.

Harris added another long-range connection in the fourth quarter and freshman point guard Quinn King scored seven of her nine points to help finish off the victory.

Harris scored a game-high 18 points. Maryrose Felling followed with 17 points.

Aubree LaBazzo and Natalie Knigga each scored 17 points for Lawrenceburg (13-9).

Triton Central (16-5, 6-0 Indiana Crossroads Conference) has two road games left on the regular-season schedule.
