MEEKER | It proved to be a great first road game for Lady Cowboy basketball as they traveled to Vail Christian Friday and came home with a big 71-17 win.
“I was very excited about the girls passing. They moved the ball up the court well and saw each other,” commented head coach Jamie Rogers, “Hailey Knowles is passing the ball really well keeping our game tempo up.”
Sarah Kracht had 27 points and Ellie Hossack and MyKayla Wille each had eight to lead the Cowboys to their victory.
“All the girls played and contributed great minutes,” said Rogers and “Sarah is shooting well.”
Hadley Franklin led defensively with seven rebounds, both Ainsely Selle and Hailey Knowles had five and Knowles led with eight steals
“Defensively the girls stepped up,” wrapped up Rogers, “Savannah Mendenhall and Hadley Franklin forced a lot of turnovers with their defensive pressure.”
The team now pauses for a couple weeks during Christmas break before they open up the new year with North Fork and Olathe, and follow the same schedule as the boys for the first weekend.
