SK 8th grader Angela Kabeya, holding her own here, is going to be an outstanding player.

Lady Pioneers (14-1) Wednesday at Conner.

PaNDAs (9-3) Friday vs. Scott.

NDA looked good early, but SK went on a nice run to end the 1st.  NDA had a solid 2nd quarter to retake the lead, but the 2nd half was mostly SK.  

NDA lost Addie Lawrie to injury, hope it isn't serious, but got Amelia Stallard back tonight.  Pandas are going to have to get scoring in the half-court when Emma isn't getting free'd up.  JLH had a big first quarter, but SK adjusted and made it hard on her in the 2nd half.  I'd like to see Young get more touches around the basket.  

SKLP plays hard, together, and stays organized.  Really defend with connectivity.  

Pernell is such a calming influence, Webb works her tail off, and Kelch is so freaking good and with a lightning quick release.  

Good crowd, boisterous, and a solid game.  The better team won. 

Nice win Lady Pioneers!
