Pendleton with a 11 point halftime lead holds off the scrappy young players of Bracken. The Lady Bears would lead after one 15-13 only to drop the second frame 22-9 beind the scoring od Scaggs and Kelsch. Kelsch of Pendleton would score the game high 21 points. First time I have seen her this year and just can drive to the basket with ease.She has a bright future and could make a heck of a coach later on. Scaggs would be the key mostly in the second hitting some bigg 3s.

 

My hat is off to the Lady Bears too. They had their backs to the wall at one point but kept fighting back. Just came up short at the end. These young Ladys will just keep improving and maturing and make alot of noise later on.

Bracken was led in scoring by Alex (Grace) Rogers with 15. Good job young lady.

That's the way girls to defend the honor of Pendleton County against Bracken County.

 

I agree, Scaggs hitting 3's is a HUGE key for Pendleton. Her 3's against Campbell sparked the Ladycats comeback that evening.

 

Kelsch is really coming into her own and playing with so much confidence. Very nice player and as you pointed out very intelligent player.

Total agreement llbc. Scaggs treys kept PC in the game. And then the Kelsch leadership took over. The off season weights have improved her game so much. She definitely leads by example, just a refusal to lose and the commitment in the off season to make that happen. I was also impressed with the soph. Rogers from BC. 15 points and several boards while matched up with Kelsch much of the night. Should be some good things to come there as confidence and maturity grow. I've heard she's quite a student of the game as well. She should take a page from that Kelsch book of off season conditioning and see just how far she can go.
