Meet the Sun Herald Girls Player of the Week

The Biloxi Lady Indians are the last basketball team still playing from the Coast and senior guard Breanna Riley is a big reason for that.

Riley scored 28 points, 15 in the first quarter, to lead the Lady Indians to a 66-53 victory over Tupelo on Saturday at the Mississippi Coliseum in Jackson.

Riley also had eight rebounds and a pair of assists to earn Sun Herald Girls Player of the Week honors for the Lady Indians (24-9).

Biloxi will play Starkville (30-0) at 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday in the Class 6A state semifinals at the Mississippi Coliseum.

Riley is averaging 13.5 points and 4.8 rebounds and 3.2 assists this season.
