The Scott Lady Eagles survived the Brossart Lady Stangs in the 37th District Semi-finals on Tuesday night at the Campbell County Middle School.

 

Scott Ball State commit, Anna Clephane strapped with a pair of first quarter personal fouls, and did not return in the first half where she had netted merely three free-throws. The Lady Stangs took advantage and managed a 25-23 halftime lead.

 

Clephane nets 11 points in the third quarter to spearhead an 18-13 Scott advantage, giving them a 41-38 lead after three complete.

 

In the fourth quarter the Lady Stangs failed to take advantage of a few scoring opportunities late in the game, while the Eagles struggled from the free-throw line, allowing the Lady Eagles (17-13) to prevail 52-46 and advance to Thursday night's 37th District Championship Game against top-ranked Campbell County.

 

Brossart Freshman Marie Kiefer led all scorers with 21 points and 12 rebounds. Junior Mariah Frommeyer nailed a trio of 3-pointers and added 13 as the Lady Stangs close the book on the 2017-18 season with a 15-13 record. Brossart graduates Allison Schultz and Taylor Moore.

Thanks for the write up Mustang; and for broadcasting the game tonight. The girls appreciate your support. It was a great game - proud of our girls for playing hard and giving it all they had.

The Kiefer girl is really good already and just a frosh. Sky is the limit for her. Division I offers have to be coming in real soon if not already.

Congrats to the 2 seniors and best of luck with their futures. Congrats to this team for having a winning season. The future is very bright for these young Lady Stangs.

Brossart played very well tonight and had a very good game plan against Scott. Kiefer was the best player on the floor last night and it wasn’t even close. She was unstoppable around the rim and I really enjoyed watching her play. She is really going to be a special player in the years to come.

We appreciate the compliment, and the unbridled enthusiasm for Marie. It's easy to get excited about her, and her teammates prospects for the future, BUT Scott Senior Anna Clephane was the best player on the floor last night.

 

Marie's potential is boundless, and down the road she may end up being one of the best ever to come out of Northern Kentucky. However, let's let her be a freshman, still learning the game and give credit where due, to a young lady who has scored well over 2,000 points and has a Division I Ball State scholly in her backpack.
