The Lady Knights kept the game close throughout, forcing five lead changes and six ties until Clark took command in the final two minutes. Catholic got most of its scoring from long range, connecting on 10 treys, with Bailey Browning providing the bulk of the long distance scoring with five 3-pointers and 19 points.

 

Sandra Skinner and Maddie Hamlin, both of whom played under True, combined for 24 points. Skinner followed Graham with 12 points and 13 rebounds.

 

 

Clark led 52-42 with 7:10 remaining, the Lady Knights used a three-point play by Rachel Blake and a four-point play by Miller in a span of a minute as part of 9-0 outburst, trimming the margin to 52-51.

 

Despite the rally, Catholic failed to overturn the deficit as Clark countered Catholic’s spree by scoring nine of the next 11 points for a 61-53 advantage with four minutes left. The Lady Knights pulled within 61-60 but couldn’t get any closer in the final two minutes.
