Covington Holy Cross 75 Simon Kenton 68

The Indians trailed most of the game. Simon Kenton came out shooting lights from the three.  Kelch and Webb had four each I believe.  The Indians dug deep in the fourth quarter, led by a couple of threes by Aumani Nelson and came out with the win.  I figured it would be a tough game for the Indians. A lot of these girls live in the same neighborhoods and know each other.  Hopefully it was a wake up call to focus and never let up.

Great fast-paced game to call on radio as Holy Cross extends their winning streak to 11 games.

Simon Kenton came out on fire (especially from 3) and built a 13-point early in the 2nd quarter. Holy Cross would respond the rest of the quarter and cut the SK lead to 3 at halftime. In the 2nd half the Pioneers would continue to hit 3-pointers and have the lead until mid-4th quarter when Holy Cross would take their first lead since the first quarter. Pretty sure Simon Kenton shot 13/19 from 3 which is a great shooting performance. All that being said, the "toughness" and "will to win" by the this Holy Cross team showed up late in the 4th. Senior Julia Hunt and Junior Aumani Nelson had huge 4th quarters leading the comeback.

Both teams played a good game. There are no moral victories, but you can take away some positives for the Lady Pioneers led by underclassmen. SK didn’t back down from the talented senior and junior led HC in a physical game. Foul trouble for SK hurt the pressure they were able to apply late in the game. Fun, competitive game to watch.
