After a 39-point performance against Union Pines on Feb. 4, Lindsey and the Lady Raiders won their final four regular season games to finish in a tie with the Lady Vikings for first place.

Celebrating senior night against Southern Lee last Monday, Lindsey scored a game-high 25 points as part of a 71-11 running-clock win. It marked the 12th time this season she scored at least that many points.
Richmond rolled to a 44-31 non-conference victory Wednesday at Pine Forest High School, which resulted in 16 points for Lindsey.
