Varsity struggles while JV and Freshman hail victory
On Saturday January 21, 2012, the first ice storm blanketed the area, but it was only the outside world that was cold. Inside the K-house, the JV, coming off two losses in a row, was smokin’ hot as the entire team contributed to a dominant performance against the visiting Hurricanes of Wilmington. The JV beat Wilmington earlier in December on their home court by 12 points. This time around the margin of victory was 19 as the home team takes the orange and black 28-47. Nice job KLK JV: Riley Brashear, Cara Thomas, Alyssa Johnson, Audrey Farber, Arden Jestice, Christine Harris, Mackenzie Kruse, Sarah Palmer. Record improves to 8-6.
The Varsity, coming off a 26 point loss from the Mason Comets, again, struggled against a strong shooting opponent in the Hurricanes. The sophmore duo of Savannah Hooper and Brianna Camp combined for 32 points, which for a second time in as many games, outscores the entire KLK team. The achilles heal of the game was the shooting percentages where the team went 31% from the field. Of great note was senior Stephanie Wehmer also looked good going 4 for 4 at the foul line and hitting 3 for 5 from the field and ringing in 10 points and sophmore Claire Sichterman who flourished in the 4th quarter to shoot 2 for 2 outside the arc and with another FG to end with 8 points. FINAL 57-29, record moves to 7-7 overall, 6-4 in the FAVC. GAME STATS
In the first game of the day, the Freshman hosted Ross in the second meeting of the season. In December the Freshman had an easy time with the Rams beating them by 12, but this time around the Rams had an answer for the hot young freshman team, fortunately, in the end, the 9th graders prevail to take a 31-36 victory and improve to 10-4 on the season.
NEXT UP: Weds January 25th finds the KLK teams split in two with the Freshman hosting Springboro at KHS with a 4:30 tip off, and then the JV/Varsity traveling to Little Miami, where the Panthers will seek revenge from earlier losses to both JV and Varsity from their December meeting at the K-House. Tip 6:00/7:30 LMHS.
