FAYETTEVILLE, Tenn. — When the Moore County Raiderettes played Fayetteville City last month, City scored two points. Thursday night, City didn’t score any.

Moore County shut out Fayetteville City 64-0 at home on Thursday. City didn’t make a field goal or a free throw in any of the four periods.

It was the second time this season the Raiderettes had put up 64 against City. They won the first meeting 64-2 on the road on Oct. 22.

The shutout capped a stretch of defense that has been hard to argue with. In six games since a season-opening loss to Cascade, Raiderettes opponents have scored 62 points combined.

Moore County led 21-0 after one period, 35-0 at halftime and 55-0 after three.

Sadie Ivey led the way with 14 points, scoring in all four periods. She had four in each of the first three, including 2-of-2 free throws in the second, and added a basket in the fourth.

Ten Raiderettes scored. Murphy Ray added 13, including a second-period 3-pointer, and Keegan Embrey had eight after opening the game with two 3-pointers. Ruby Ervin scored seven, going 3-of-4 from the free-throw line, and Madison Hatfield also had seven.

Emmy Thomas added six, and Haven Hornaday had three. Hollis Norman, Ava Webster and Maci Chapin scored two each, with Norman and Webster scoring in the fourth period.

The Raiderettes will get a chance to avenge their only loss of the season when they rematch with Cascade in Bell Buckle on Monday. Tip off happens at 6 p.m. •
