MILLER CITY, Ohio (WLIO) — Miller City girls basketball stepped out of conference play and delivered a dominant performance, rolling past Elmwood 64-27.

The Wildcats continued to build their lead behind hot shooting from the perimeter. Senior Kiera Ruhe caught fire from deep, knocking down multiple three-pointers on her way to 14 points, forcing Elmwood to burn a timeout.

Later in the game, Lammers found freshman Sophia Ruck, who knocked down a short jumper as part of her eight-point night.

Miller City never let up. Off a turnover, the ball found senior Elizabeth Erford, who finished an easy basket to extend the lead.

With the 64-27 win, Miller City moved to 15-2 on the season, while Elmwood dropped to 7-9.
