On Jan. 12, the varsity girls basketball team traveled to Parkway West to take on the Lady Longhorns in their final game before their awaited match up against long time rival, Marquette.
Junior guard Jordynn Martin led all scorers with 21 points as junior Kayla Hall added another 10 and also dished out seven assists. Second chance points had also been essential to the team’s 58-28 win with five of the 10 players who saw the floor boarding at least three offensive rebounds.
With this, their record extends to 7-6 overall, and their 1-1 record in the Conference play puts them at third in the Suburban West. Martin’s 17.5 ppg is also good for second in the Conference.
However, no game thus far holds any greater significance than the one to be played Friday, Jan. 14 at 5:30 p.m. in the LHS main gym as the Lady Lancers were able to slide past the Mustangs 58-56 in OT in the season opening Marquette Tournament.
“I think we’re all really excited to play them again. We barely beat them last time in overtime but we’ve gotten a lot better. Both teams always play good when we play each other and it’s always a fun game. Being at home just gives you a little more momentum.
