"I thought Krysten looked like the Krysten from last year," commented LBB head coach Chad Allen.  "She really worked hard for the ball and gave us a great inside presence."

Chaylea Mosby finished with 15 points.  She was 3 for 3 at the charity stripe and hit 1 trey. She also completed five 2-pointers.

"I was proud of Chaylea battling through her flu-like symptoms.  She is a tough girl."

Hannah Thurmon contributed 11 points. She was 3 for 9 shooting 33% and was 5 for 8 at the charity stripe shooting 63%.

"I thought the tandem with Hannah and Krysten was huge for us tonight," continued Allen.  "They work really well together inside and look for each other.  They also played great interior defense for us too."

"Our two seniors played big for us tonight," Allen said of Riley Allen and Cheyenne Mosby.  "Cheyenne got a lot of offensive boards and Harley hit some big 3's."

Tonight was Natalie Sitze's first night back after an injury to her elbow.  She tallied 7 points including one 3-pointers for the Lady Cats.
