Oliver shines despite Tallassee girls' slow start

Caleb Turrentine / The Tribune Tallassee’s Lindan Oliver led the Tigers with 25 points against Auburn.

After scoring a total of just nine points in the first two games, Tallassee’s Lindan Oliver started letting the ball fly and she brought a spark of offense to the Tigers against Auburn last Tuesday. Oliver knocked down seven 3-pointers to finish with a game-high 25 points in a 74-33 defeat to Auburn but the home crowd was still entertained by Oliver’s big performance.

“That was fun and they like to see her shoot,” Tallassee coach Harold Harris said. “She always has the green light and she knows it.”
