Lady Pioneers Win Classic

The Kenton County Classic wrapped up tonight after a long week of basketball. The girls game out on top and claimed the tourney with a thrilling come from behind win over Highlands by a final score of 46-43. The boys fell to Campbell County by a final of 57-45.

The girls trailed Highlands by 5 with just under two minutes to go. Chelsea Tolliver kept driving to the basket and the Bluebirds kept fouling her. Not sure how many points she had but it was a bunch. The game featured several ties and lead changes. Along with Chelsea, Sydni Wainscott and Kayla Smith were named to the All Tourney team. SK hands Highlands only its second loss of the season and the first to a Northern Kentucky team. Congratulations girls.

A very nice contingent of folks made their way to the game tonight. The support was awesome in a game that had a year-end tournament feel to it.

Chelsea definitely found her way to the rim tonight.
