The Knights started out strong against Mason.  Although they trailed by three after the first quarter, they took the lead in the second quarter.  The second and third quarter Kings continued to out score the Comets going into the fourth quarter leading by 12.  Comets made four threes to put the pressure on Kings and with 8 seconds left cut the lead to two.  The Knights held on to the lead to inch out the Comets. Even though Comets out scored the Knights in the fourth 20-8, the Knights played great defense and played well enough to win.  Luck was on the Comets side as they banked in a three.   Player of the game went to the whole team.  Each player stepped up big to come together as a team.  A red ribbon was tied on every players shoe to remind them to play like Kristen Sevier.  Kristen will be out the rest of the season with an injury.  The Knights goal was to play with the intensity that Kristen plays with.

 Well wishes to Kristin for speedy and healthy recovery….see you on the court next year!

Beginning the evening of the Kings Lady Knights sweep in Loveland on Sat. Jan 15th, the Freshman started with a bang, holding the Tigers with their defensive pressure and only allowing 10 points in the contest. With every player receiving player of the game honors, everyone was a contributing factor in the win. Mackenzie Kruse stepped up her game and gave great minutes. Christine Harris had an awesome second half attacking the basket. Way to go Freshman!

The Kings Freshman were victorious over Anderson 23-6.  Again, Kings defense won the game for the Knights.  The Knights only gave up two offensive rebounds the whole night.  That was much improved from the last game.  Kristen Sevier received player of the game for her intense defense.  Laura Bruns also added to the defensive pressure.

Kings vs. Turpin

Kings lead the Turpin by 14 at the half. Kings could not handle the pressure of the Turpin defense and struggled the whole second half. Game was tied with about 12 seconds left and Kings had the ball and turned the ball over. 4 seconds to go the Spartans dribble down the floor and made a shot just over the half line to beat the Knights by 3. It was a tough loss for the Knights. Many mistakes were made but the difference is our lack of defense and no box out. Christine Harris played a solid game winning player of the game.

Kings vs. Walnut

This was a defensive battle for the Knights. The Knights missed 16 lay ups in the first half. Due to their good defense, they were able to hold Walnut to just 8 points and make some of our lay ups in the second half for the victory.

Kings vs. Colerain

This was a team victory for the Knights. With both point guards on vacation, Kristen Sevier stepped up and brought the ball down the floor. This was a very low scoring game but with Christine Harris shooting a near perfect game, the Knight won by 8. The whole team was awarded player of the game.

Kings vs. Fairfield

This was one of the most exciting games at the freshman level. Unfortunately the Knights could not hold on to the win at the end of the game. A foul was called with .5 seconds left. Fairfield was able to make one foul out of the two foul shots to win the game. The team is continuing to work on boxing out and team defense for the next battle against Anderson.

Kings vs. Loveland

The Lady Knights were victorious last night against the Tigers with a score of 32-14.  It was a team effort from all 11 players.  The Knights got off to a slow offensive start missing 9 lay ups in the first quarter.  The Knights constant defensive pressure with Alyssa Johnson, Kristen Sevier and Laura Bruns allowed the Knights to take the lead.  After missing many lay ups in the first half, Bruns refocused and scored 16 points in the second half.  Makenzie Kruse gave some good defensive minutes picking up two steals and some rebounds

Knights vs. Lebanon

It was a great season opener for the Knights.  The Knights ended up edging out the Warriors to win the game by 10.  The Knights were able to regroup after half time and put the Warriors under pressure with their intense defense.  Laura Bruns and Kristen Sevier added to the defensive intensity.  The Knights took the lead in the third quarter by their trapping press and never lost the lead for the remainder of the game.  Kristen Sevier received player of the game for her rebounding and defense.
