The Lynn Camp Lady Wildcats got a much-needed win on Tuesday after going over a month without a victory.
The Lady Wildcats snapped an 11-game losing skid by stunning Barbourville on its home court with a 67-43 decision.
Ten players scored in the win for Lynn Camp (4-18 overall, 1-1 vs. 51st District opponents) with Lindsey Cox leading the way with a 14-point scoring effort. Lauren Partin added 13 points while Abby Made added 10 points.
“We played with a lot of intensity tonight,” Lynn Camp coach Josh Mobley said. “Our press gave them fits and caused a bunch of turnovers which lead to some easy offense for us. We also moved the ball a whole lot better on offense tonight, especially in transition which lead to some easy looks right at the rim.
“Defensively, we did great in the press and also played well getting back in transition defense, and working well in the half court defensive sets as well to make stops,” he added. “We made some key shots at key times throughout the game to keep their runs at bay during tonights contest. We will prepare and practice the next few days and prepare for another key matchup at Knox Central on Thursday evening.”
The loss dropped Barbourville to 4-12 overall, and 0-3 against 51st District opponents. The Lady Tigers were led in scoring by Marleigh Martin’s 11 points while Layla Brock scored 10 points.
Mobley’s Lady Wildcats will be back in action Thursday at Knox Central with tip-off scheduled for 7:30 p.m.
Barbourville will hit the road Friday, and play Harlan at 7:30 p.m.
