The LaSalle Lady Tigers are falling hard in district play. The girls went on the road last week to take on Montgomery and picked up a hard fought win. The Lady Tigers have been working hard every day to overcome the adversity that has hindered the season.

Injuries have played a tremendous role in this current district record, but it would be against Montgomery that everything would come together.

The Lady Tigers would bust out of the loss column with Bree Hester scoring her person best 28 points and allowing Kenzie Long some breathing room during this game. Kenzie has faced a box in one defense all season and yet still managed to average 20 plus points per game.

The Jena Lady Giants played three games this past week. The Lady Giants started the week by traveling to LaSalle on Monday and picking up a 45-35 win. On Tuesday the Lady Giants played the Caldwell Lady Spartans.

The Lady Giants played well in the first quarter keeping the game close as Candace Hudnall had 7 points in the quarter. Caldwell would lead 19-11 going into the second quarter.

In the second quarter Caldwell would pull away as they would use a full court press on defense to force turnovers and outscore Jena 20-4 to take a 39-15 lead into halftime. In the second half it would continue to be all Caldwell as they would go on to win 64-28.

In the game for the Lady Giants Candace Hudnall had 8 points, Brooklyn Burlew had 8 points, Kennedy Norris had 4 points, Janasia Jones had 3 points, Emily Breithaupt had 3 points, Avery Finley had 2 points, and Audrey Pritchard had 1 point.

The LaSalle Tigers have had some great battles over the last couple of games as they put up a good showing against Block, Northwood, and Logansport. In the fourth quarter of each contest the Tigers have tied or taken a lead in each game.

These Tigers are fighting every game until the final horn. The current record doesn’t reflect how hard these guys are playing every game. They are also doing this with missing pieces of the team. Several guys have missed games for one reason or another, but no matter what Tigers take the floor they are fighting every step of the way.

The LaSalle Lady Tigers have dropped the last three district 3-1A contest. The best thing about this is they were mostly on the road. The Lady Tigers did welcome Logansport to Olla for their only home district loss.

The Lady Tigers are being led in scoring by Kenzie Long, Senior guard. The Lady Tigers have been without several players over this stretch of games due to flu and injuries.
