For the Lady Saints, Kat Morris had another double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds and freshman Brailyn Almand shot the ball extremely well in the 2nd half, hitting two 3-pointers and another mid-range shot to bring her total to 8 points. Almand also added 6 rebounds. Baylee Pogue and Gracy Martin had 5 points, and Heaven Garcia added 2 points. Pogue added 6 rebounds and Garcia added 2 assists. Garcia had a busy night, as she played basically two full basketball games on Thursday, starting for the Jr. Team and Sr. Team. Kylie Bullock added 4 rebounds and Silbi Jones dished out 2 assists.
After the game I caught up with Lady Jays coach Eddie Beck and he had this to say about his teams win, "Definitely a relief, we've been putting pressure on ourselves, but tonight we shot good and we hope tonight gets us rolling. Good defense tonight, we felt like we did a good job limiting their top offensive player and that our defense as a whole was really good."
The Lady Jays are back in action on Tuesday as they head to Haskell Harmony Grove and the Lady Saints are back in action this Friday as they head to Hot Springs to face Gospel Light.
