Knox Catholic’s Lady Irish have been missing some valuable pieces to their offense due to injuries, but Sydney Mains was back for the first time this year without restricted minutes and led the Irish to a 68-18 romp for the Lady Knights of Chuckey-Doak.
Playing with aggression from the opening tip, the Irish overwhelmed the Knights early as they led 20-3 after one quarter and things never got better for C-D as Catholic moved to a 44-9 halftime advantage.
Mains finished with 16 points and three steals to lead the winners. Jazmin Williams scored 12 and dished out five assists with two steals. Kate Pettinger scored nine.
Chuckey-Doak hit only 5-of-28 shots from the field. They were led by Kennedy Brown with five points. Faith Yokley had six rebounds.
