GIRLS’ BASKETBALL

• Red Devils lose at Sacred Heart: Visiting Jeffersonville fell behind 18-4 after the first quarter and 35-16 at halftime to fall at Louisville Sacred Heart, the 10th-ranked team in Kentucky, on Thursday, 64-43.

Haley Vogen led the Red Devils with 14 points and nine rebounds. Teammate Taylor Sykes chipped in six points as Jeff extended its losing streak to four games.

“We’ve just gotten off to a slow start in every game this season,” Jeff assistant coach John Pait said. “We’re trying different lineups to get us going, but it just doesn’t seem to work. The girls have got to realize that once the tip goes up, you’ve got to be ready to play. But they’re getting better. We’re seeing some bright spots.”

NEXT: Jeff (2-4) hosts Columbus East, Saturday.

• Braves fall at Lanesville: Borden had no one score in double figures in a 38-25 loss at Lanesville on Thursday. Kristen Nestor paced Borden with eight points.

NEXT: Borden (4-3, 1-2 Southern Athletic Conference) hosts Shawe Memorial, next Thursday.
