Lady Knights Varsity Basketball

Home opener vs Monroe 80-21

At Amelia 54-44

 

Keeping the slate clean!  This week the varsity team played the first home game of the season easily getting past Monroe for an 80-21 victory inwhich every Lady Knight scored.  We were able to see how various combinations work together and it resulted in 4 players leading the way in double figure scoring, Lauren Collier, Megan Fultz, Logan Warye and Katelyn Haralamos.  The rebounding numbers were also dominate, Warye grabbed 14 boards, while Fultz was next with 7 and Phelps with 6.  Most impressive was the defense which kept Monroe from gettng good looks at the basket and offering a great start to the fast break.  It was great to see the usual support of the home crowd!

 

Our first FAVC match up of the season was an away game at Amelia.  With  new coach and some solid returning players we were handed a challenge early.  The game started quickly and had us a bit on our heals as we were down 0-7 and not getting our defense in sync with the plan we wanted.  After a short timeout to refocus we started playing the defense that is expected with leads to those fast break baskets.  Even though we had a 3 point lead at the half we were shooting under 50% from the free throw line and still working hard to control the boards for rebounds.  Second half stats proved we turned around both of those stats, especially the free throws, 93.3% in second half! Again all 10 players contributed to the win in a signifcant way.  Katelyn Haralamos and Logan Warye were scoring leaders for the game with 14 and 18 points respectively.
