Paul Dunbar visited Lexington Catholic and handed the hosts a 44-36 defeat. Dunbar held a 41-22 lead after three quarters. 6-0 So. Ebony Rowe did a great defensive job on Natalie Novosel holding her to 11 points only three in the first three quarters. Dunbar held a commanding 42-22 advantage on the boards. 6-0 Sr. Chantelle Pressley led the Lady Bulldogs with 15 points and 10 rebounds while Rowe added 10 points and 13 rebounds. Cameron Howard and Pilar Walker each pulled down 7 rebounds. LexCath was led by Briana Green and Natalie Novosel with 13 and 11 points respectively. LexCath only shot 24.5% from the field including ine of 16 from beyond the arc.

From what people, Catholic supporters, said of this game, Dunbar first off played good and definately BEAT Lex Cath tonight. That being said, Lex Cath did not play a good game at all and missed many shots that were uncontested or in close with little pressure. Still, from seeing Lex Cath play Tates Creek tonight, I can definately believe that if you pressure the Lady Knights and really make them work for baskets that they will struggle some. Green and Novosel are great players and there is a limited but strong group of supporting cast however the Lady Knights don't have the traditional shooter who can drift along the arc and just shoot the jay whenever. The Lady Knights also don't seem to always display a strong drive or desire that was present in the past. They need to wake up some and realize that teams aren't just gonna lay down for them because of what they did in years past.

 

Congrats to Dunbar, this is a big win for that program.

Lex Cath supporters are not used to losing to other Lexington teams. They will have to play better to change things. Sometimes change can be a good thing.

Didn't they lose to Lex teams last year too?

The talent at Lex Cath is definately starting to thin while other schools are beginning to become stronger. One factor I'd say that contributes to this is that one of Lex Cath's strongest program builder's used to be its middle school and aau program. However, in years past, many girls with talent have been run off because certain powers to be wanted other girls to be the stars. Now you are seeing teams like Lex Christian really benefit from some of those girls who got run off.
