On Dec. 12 the Lady Lancer varsity basketball team played host to Rock Bridge, the top ranked team in the state.

After coming off a 55-34 win against Timberland which was backed by strong play overall, the team struggled to get things going offensively.

In the third quarter alone the team had been outscored 17-2, and went 8-50 from the field.

Senior Jordynn Martin led the Lady Lancers with 10 points, and no other played had made more than one field goal. She is currently averaging 16.3 points per game.

“I mean they’re a really good team so I’d say it’s a learning experience to make us better,” senior Claire Norfleet said.

Earlier this season the team competed in the annual Randi Perkins tournament held at Marquette.

There, they defeated both Francis Howell and Nerinx Hall before falling 43-49 to Fort Zumwalt West, the area’s fifth ranked large school. They also beat longtime rival Eureka 45-32.

The Lady Lancers, who are currently ranked sixth among St. Louis large schools, are scheduled to play Parkway North at home on Tuesday, Dec. 13 at 5:30 p.m.
