On Weds. Jan 18th, the power forwards from Mason, Brianna Glover and Kayla McDowell, at 6’1″ and 6’2″ respectively, managed to score more points than the entire KLK team  scored for the game.  Glover and McDowell combined for 29 points and the height, speed of the visiting team was simply no match for the Knights.  Despite a fairly tight 1st quarter, with 3 lead changes, once the Comets got into their groove, the KLK had no answer to any shots, going only 11-40 from the floor.  Varsity takes this on the chin and moves to 7-6 on the season. FINAL: 54-26.

KLK STATS COMETS STATS

The JV had a strong start and gave the Comets a good run.  Scoring from Sarah Palmer, Kiley Maxwell, Brianne Gray, Arden Jestice, and Riley Brashear kept the hopes alive, but the fast breaks and layups caught up to the team at the end.  The JV streak of 2 losses in a row is the first of the season, moving to 7-6 with a 38-26 final.

The stars of the night were the freshman as they take out the Comets.  This defensive battle was so tight  with more passing and movement of the ball in the back court, that there was very little shooting to be had and not  single foul shot taken in the first half by either team.  The half time score was 6-6.  Sometimes a good halftime break is what a team needs to get ‘er goin’ and that’s what the Frosh did as they scored 9 points to only Mason’s 3 points in the third stanza and hang on to use up the clock as Mason tried to rally, but the KLK Freshman prevail and finish the game 17-20.  Kiley Maxwell gets high fives with 9 points followed by Brooke Renner with 5 and Jenna Machino and Brianne Gray with 2 each.  Freshman improve to 9-4 on the season.
