Final from Falmouth

Maggie Simons showed why she's one of the best young player in the area and led the Lady Jackets to a win over Pendleton County.  The Ladycats would get the deficit down to a single possession on several occasions, but could not take the lead.  Simons led all scorers with 32, including 12/17 from the line.  Tessa Humphries would add 16 for Nicholas County.  Lily Ashcraft paced Pendleton County with 20 and Hannah Spaulding and Kearstin Mayer added 16 and 12, respectively. We could have a repeat of this matchup in 2 weeks in the 38th District Championship.

Nicholas County 20-11-13-18-62

Pendleton County 11-17-09-16-52

Maggie is terrific, and she played AAU with a lot of those talented freshmen in the 9th (and SK) growing up, so everyone in NKY is well aware of what an outstanding player she is!  So happy for her success.

She got those 32 in the flow of the game...never forced anything, but made sure the ball was in her hands when it got close.

The 10th is really blessed with some young talent:  Maggie, Kennedy Stamper (GRC), Lily Ashcraft and Hannah Spaulding (Pendleton), and Lexi Young (Mason Co) to name just a few.
