DAY 4 LADIES CLASSIC
It was a game of runs, and West Greene got the last one and beat county rival Chuckey-Doak 58-53.
West Greene led 32-25 at halftime and was in control much of the first three quarters. A basket by the Knights’ Kennedy Brown tied the game at 44-44 with 5:40 left on the clock.
But West Greene then went on a 12-0 run, with Tayli Rader and Abbey Cox doing the most damage to C-D, and held a 56-44 lead with 1:48 to go. Then it was Chuckey-Doak’s turn to rally, and they peeled off nine straight points to close to 56-53 with 31 seconds left. Saniah Atchison scored five for the Knights in that spurt.
The Knights had a chance to move closer but missed a one-plus at the free throw line with 28 seconds to go. West Greene’s Megan Daniels iced it with a pair of free throws at the :04 mark.
Rader and Taylor Lawson each posted a double-double for the Lady Buffs. Lawson had 17 points and 13 boards, while Rader hit for 17 points with 12 rebounds.
Atchison had 11 points for the Knights and Breanna Roberts added eight.
