Lady Jags struggle from the field, loose in Championship game

The Lady Jags come out with fire in Friday's Tri-9 Conference Championship game with Green Hope but ran out of gas as their three-point shots came up short in route to a 52-46 loss.

Keisha Gatling scored 23 points in 11 of 12 shooting including 8 rebounds and 7 blocked shots. As good as Gatling shot the ball, the rest of the team struggled from the field save for Lainey Childrey who finished with 15 points, three assists and 5 rebounds. Rachel Collins managed 4 points and Megan Gorman chipped in a basket to round out the scoring.

Defensively, the Jaguars held Kristen Gaffney to a season low 13 points and limited the conference Player of the Year to only 2 baskets in the second half.

The Lady Jags will host Pinecrest High School on Monday at 7pm in the 1st round of the Sectionals.
