It's been an up-and-down year for a North Oldham team that some feel has a real chance to make some noise in the 8th Region.   The Lady Mustangs are coming off a loss to Assumption on Wednesday - and will have another game Friday night versus Western - as they get ready to face the Lady Raiders.     Transfer Elizabeth Boyd is giving North Oldham a double-double average, with 13.6 ppg / 10.3 rebounds.    Though not quite the scorer that the graduated Riley Neal was (Neal graduated as the all-time leading scorer in Lady Mustang history), Boyd has been a solid scorer and a dominant worker on the glass.    Gracie Sipes (12 ppg), Katie Smith (9.8 ppg), and Katellyn Vize (8.2 ppg/7.5 rebounds) give North a balanced attack.   North's Achilles' this year, though, has been at the line, where the Lady Mustangs are hitting just 52.6% of their shots.

Warren East has also been up-and-down of late, splitting their last six games (pending Friday night's game at Barren County).    Scoring has been a challenge for WE; the Lady Raiders have been held under 50 points 8 of their 12 games to date, and have scored 40 or less four times.    Like North, free throws have been a bit of an issue (56.6%) for WEHS.    Nobody is in double digits right now for the Lady Raiders, but they feature five players who are all averaging about the same number of points per game.   

Great trivia...

 

The coach for Warren East (Jenny Neville) is cousins with North Oldham's Katelyn Vize...   

AND

RaeEllen Jones, the post player for Warren East, is also a cousin of Katelyn's.

RaeEllen's parents are an assistant coach for WE (Nickie Jones) and bookkeepeer (Jimmy Jones) are cousins of Katelyn's family...

I just hope to be invited if this is a familly reunion and somebody's bringing food.... ??

Both teams looking to develop some consistency and hoping that this game gets them started in that direction.
