Lexington Catholic 81 Rose Hill 60

[scooterbob]

Final. I have no details but Rose Hill was very much in the game past the midway of the third quarter. However, foul trouble caused a lot of time on the bench for Britt Faulkner and some for Laura Terry. Lady Royals needed all three on the floor to have a chance at a win.

 

Nonetheless, a game with the nationally ranked Lady Knights will only help the team in March. It is certainly better than playing only the locals.

 

Green for LexCath was outstanding and if anyone had any doubts, Terry and Queen showed that they can play well against anyone. LexCath doesn't appear to be as deep as last year. However, I stand by my earlier posts. They are the best in the Commonwealth. But, if Rose Hill plays as it did for almost three quarters tonight, they will compete well in the region.

Good game for the Lady Royals. As SB said, Terry and Queen both had very good games. W/ the lack of bench depth, foul trouble is always going to be an issue. Even w/ that, it was a good effort for RH.

I saw the score on our local WSAZ news earlier this evening, at that time it was a 1 or 2 pt. game. S-bob is right, playing better competition only makes you better. I will be pulling for the Lady Royals except when they are playing my Lady Rams .

[Royal Uncle]

Not sure but I think Terry had about 30 points. I'm sure Himmelfarb has some accurate stats to correct me if I'm wrong.

Rose Hill will definitely be a team to reckon with in March.

Should be a good matchup at The Palace with the Lady Rams next Thursday.

Good win by Lex Cath.

Wireman, I looked for you at the game but there was no one on the LexCath side wearing Vikingette sweats. Nonetheless, you would have been a welcome guest.

Your constant insults and "Vikingette" references make me laugh. Perhaps you could talk about the game besides working overtime to stir the pot.

Queen: 22 pts, 7/15 (includes 2/4 3ptrs), 6/7 free throws, 10 rebs, 3 asts, 3 blks, 6 trnovrs

 

Terry: 29 pts, 11/16 (includes 3/5 3ptrs), 2/2 free throws, 6 rebs, 2 asts, 3 blks, 9 trnovrs

 

Faulkner: 1 pt, 0/6 (includes 0/1 3ptrs), 1/2 free throws, 1 rebs, 7 asts, 7 trnovrs

 

Dundon: 8 pts, 4/7, 2 rebs

 

At some point, someone is going to have to realize that the game is not a horserace, slow it down when need be, limit the one-on-one playground moves, cut the turnovers to a reasonable number, pass into better shot selections, and take better advantage of mismatches inside when we get them. There...I feel better.

 

Actually, I hope much was learned this evening about what a team effort can accomplish. An effort like that can get the Lady Royals back to Richmond and maybe, just maybe back to Bowling Green.

[Himmelfarb]

IMO, all you intended to do was stir the pot up and start trouble. No one is defensive and uptight - they just prefer to be called the Lady Vikings. I'll pray for the people in Houston.

How do you figure?

[scooterbob]

Lady Vikings? Sounds good to me. I'll use it although there is nothing wrong with Vikingettes.

That soup is almost done. Keep stirring.

Back to the game. Thanks Himmelfarb for the stats. Really good game by Terry and Queen. Dundon is coming along nicely, as well. Look forward to the All A Classic.

Dundon has become a true contributor.
