Love this!  How freaking cool for SKLP!!!!   Sacred Heart will likely still win the state tournament, but what an awesome memory for the Lady Pioneers.  

 

Holy Cross picked a bad time to play the Valkyries!

The Lady Pioneers played their hearts out. The starting five played the whole game and weathered several Lady Valkries runs in the closing minutes of the 4th quarter as well as overtime. SKLP will put this in the memory book for sure.

Pioneers with another big win!

According to Bob Tonini who does Sacred Heart's Stats the "iron 5" of Simon Kenton played the entire game logging 36 minute each. Brynli Pernell 22 points 4 's, Bella Ober 21 points 3 3's, Haylie Webb 13 points 9 rebounds,Anna Kelch 12 points 4 3's 5 rebound 5 assists, Megan Gadzala 7 points 5 rebounds. The Lady Pioneers were 12 of 25 from the three point line.

Za'Kiyah Johnson led Sacred Heart with 25 points 12 rebounds 6 assists 6 steals, Tootie Jordan 16 points 2 rebounds 5 assists 4 steals, Morgan Frey 15 points 4 rebounds 3 steals.  Sacred Heart was whistled for 24 fouls with Za'Kiyah Johnson, Tootie Jordan, and Morgan Frey all having five fouls.  Simon Kenton had 19 turnovers that the Valkyries converted to 27 points. 

The Lady Pioneers met every challenge and when Sacred Heart was forced to foul in overtime they hit enough free throws to ensure the victory.  A big victory for the Lady Pioneers and definitely marks them as a team to be reckoned with come tournament time.

“The Iron 5”. I can hear the background music queuing up with a documentary about them. That is truly an amazing feat that 5 girls played the entire game and took down Goliath.  Certain to be the “Favorite Memory” listed by all these girls on their Senior night… in a couple years. 
Enjoy this one SKLP!  

Heard Simon Kenton’s starters played the entire 36 minutes of the game and they beat the #1 team in the state in the process. Let me repeat starters played the entire game. 0 subs. Let that sink in. Maybe coaches don’t always have to play 8, 9 or even 10 players like a few pundits on here always talk about.

Huge congrats to Coach Stowers and the Pioneers!!! 

Congrats to the Lady Pioneers! Their win snapped an UCLA impressive 92 game winning streak vs. Kentucky teams.

Pernell  is Brandon Hattons little sister she can ball just like her brother.

That new Simon Kenton coach just might be the real deal! ?

I heard he was a good one lol. Great guy as well.

9️⃣2️⃣ "The Streak," 92 games by Sacred Heart, is bookended by overtime losses. Their last defeat was at Mercy (2/13/22), 96-98 (2 OT).

Congats again to the "Iron Five," Coach Stowers, and the SKLP!
