Lady Neers with Triple Header Sweep Over Dixie in Marathon Night

The Lady Neers capped off their Kenton County games by travelling to Dixie Heights tonight in another triple header. SK come out on top in all three games by a final score of 60-37. The Freshman game got over in pretty quick fashion but I wasn’t sure that the JV game was ever going to end. The girls squeeze out a win in an ugly game. (Actually calling it ugly is a compliment.) 

The varsity girls looked sharp early as they jumped out to an early lead and held Dixie to 2 first quarter points and led at half-time by 32-10.

SK seemed to lose some flow as Dixie would cut into the big SK lead. The Neers would get things together late in the 4th quarter and went on to cruise for the win but only outscores Dixie by a point in the second half 28-27.

Abby Owings led all scorers with 20 points tonight.

The Neers have a break the rest of the week but will take on Ryle next Tuesday for the toughest part of their regular season as they take on Ryle, NDA, Walton, New Cath, Boone and Conner in that order. Four of these teams are ranked in just about everybody’s Top 20 in the state. 

No doubt that the biggest Neer smile tonight came from Kelsey Blau. She got news today that the docs don’t think her ACL is torn. Awesome news Kelsey!
