Scott County defeated Paul Dunbar by a score of 68-63 tonight at Paul Dunbar High School. Dunbar led 54-51 in the final quarter but Scott County went on a 11-0 run to take a 62-54 lead and survived a late Dunbar rally to earn the win.

 

Kristen Stainback led the victors with 25 points including 11 points in the decisive fourth quarter. Madisen Webb and Alex McKenzie added 12 points each. Christin Haney led Dunbar with 22 points. Ebony Rowe added 19 points and pulled down 26 rebounds.

Stainback is a prolific shooter for sure. Great job.

Jesse James - I totally agree with you, although I have seen Stainback shoot better than she did tonight she scored 19 of her 25 points in the second half when the game was on the line. She has the perfect scorer's mentality she understands that if she misses 3 or 4 shots in the row to keep taking the good shots that she is very capable of connecting on several in a row.

Also, a little brag on 5-10 Jr. Alex McKenzie, although she is a bit small to battle with the big girls she still gets the job done. She had 12 points and several rebounds. Scott County on any given night can be extremely tough when Madisen Webb, Kristen Stainback, and Alex McKenzie are clicking on all cylinders. The 11th Region should be very interesting this year with Scott County, Franklin County, and Madison Central all having excellent chances to break the Lexington schools' stranglehold on the 11th region title.
