Simon Kenton 63 Anderson County 36 (8th Region Champs)

Senior night at the Joe with Kelch, Webb and Gadzalla playing their final game. The lady bluebirds keep it close in the first half with some timely 3 point shooting. The neers led only 24-20 at half. The lady pioneers played with more intensity in the second half and took control. Pernell finished with 22pt. Webb with 12, Kelch with 9, Kabeya with 8.

Thanks Double Deuce for your thoughtful analysis of our local and state girl's basketball teams. Girls sometimes don't get the attention that the boys do, but we have some very good girl's teams that give us some exciting moments throughout the year. We'll have even more in the next two weeks for sure. Hope you will consider doing it again next year...no pressure here?.

The Lady Pioneers jumped out to a 49-16 half-time lead with a stifling defense and 10 3's in the half. There was a running clock for most of the second half.

Final from Independance. SKLP gets a win over a scrappy Conner team who never let up. Gadzala with 17 to lead the pioneers. SK has a couple of big games coming up with Holy Cross on Wednesday, which will no doubt be a fun game and then Sacred Heart comes to town on Friday. Nothing is easy down the stretch of the season.

Sorry, Double Deuce on the defense comment?.

Lady pioneers did not shoot well 14-51 fg and 8-32 3's (unofficial), but 1992Rebel is right they play tough defense.

They kept the gas on the pedal offensively in the 4th and the defense held Walton in check throughout. Kelch finished with 23 pts. and Pernell 15pts. to lead the lady pioneers.
