Crosstown rivalry game was never in doubt. Mason County led at quarter stops 28-6, 44-13, 65-22 and 77-29. Obviously, everyone saw action in this one. Not exactly sure about these stats so I apologize if I'm off by a point or two.

 

Five Lady Royals in double figures - Desarae Chambers 17, Torrey Chembers 14, Lacey Cline 13, Keller Menke 11 (including a 3rd-quarter buzzer-beater from half court) and Kasey Litzinger 10.

 

St. Patrick led by Cheryl Rutherford with 16. She can start for virtually any 10th Region team.

 

MC 57 rebounds (including 26 offensive), St. Pat 27. While turnovers were close (16 MC, 22 SP); points off TOs were not - something like 28-2 for Mason County.

 

Congratulations to Kasey Litzinger who moved into 10th place all-time on Lady Royals scoring list and to Lacey Cline, who moved past Angie Garrett into 2nd place all-time. Along with Desarae Chambers (first); that's three Lady Royals on this year's squad on the team's all-time top ten. And all three are juniors.

What an accomplishment...still a lot of basketball left for these girls to play..

Congrats to the Big three from Mason they are a good bunch of athletes who are fun to watch and they still have there Senior year WOW. Could be a very interesting end of the year for this bunch and a bright future when they are seniors may be the best three on one team in the same grade IMO

Here's what I'm hoping.

 

I'm hoping that either this year, next year or both, these girls can "pull a Rose Hill". Get to the tournament, peak at the right time and make some noise.

 

It's been something like a 20 or 21 year drought for the Mason County girls. Only thing keeping the Lady Royals from being able to stay with the elite programs in the state is numbers. When LexCath and Scott County substitute, there's not a lot of drop-off.

Who's fault is it that Mason County doesnt have a bench?

I'd have to say that some of the blame should be given to the coaches. How many times have you seen Mason County blow a team away (much like the St. Pat game), and still the starters are in til the last minute or 2 of the game. These kind of games are the ones that you can put your bench out there and give them some experience, or else how are they going to get better if they never get a chance? It's just not right. Girls that normally sit on the bench should be getting good minutes in games like these, and for most of the Mason Co. games I have been to over the years, these girls are maybe, if they're lucky, getting 1-3 minutes.
