Good Day for Lady Neers

A successful day for the Lady Pioneer basketball teams. 

In the Republic Bank Holiday Tourney at Lex Cath, the varsity team brought back a winner to Indy after knocking off East Carter by a final score of 55-35. The team struggled early as the tough loss they took from Dupont Manual (#1 ranked team in the state and best team I’ve seen in KY in years) last night seemed to be lingering in the girls’ game. Coach Stowers went to the bench early and often as he looked for the right combinations to shake the jitters. SK trailed much of the first half but made a run late in the second quarter to lead by 4 at the break. The team pulled away from East Carter in the second half and locked a placement in the Silver Division of the prestigious tournament. Mackenzie Hester and Hannah Stephenson led a balanced scoring attack with 9 points each. 9 Girls would get in the scoring column tonight.  The Neers will play on Thursday at 12:00 p.m. at Lex Cath against TBA. 

East Carter 11 6 6 12-35
Simon Kenton 8 12 14 21-55

The Freshman team also had a thrilling day as they brought home the top hardware in the Scott High School Freshman Holiday Tournament featuring most of the schools in Northern Kentucky. The Frosh would top Notre Dame in the semifinals as SK pulled out a 2 point win by a score of 29-27. In the finals, the girls would play Walton Verona who they recently beat in a thriller at SK. This game would not disappoint as SK wins the tournament in overtime by a final of 40-33. Congrats!
