SAGINAW — Hanna Gaylor scored 18 of her game-high 32 points in the first quarter to lead the Lipan Lady Indians to a resounding 55-22 win over Lindsay in the Region II-2A Division II championship game Thursday night.

With the victory, Lipan improved to 25-11 and earned a trip to the state semifinals, where it will get a rematch with Farwell, which beat the Lady Indians 42-24 in early December.

Nothing about Thursday’s game, which was highlighted by Gaylor’s remarkable shooting performance and a nearly perfect defensive effort by the Lady Indians, would suggest that next week’s state tournament matchup will mirror its predecessor. Gaylor certainly looks forward to finding out.
