Kori Holt was high point for this game with 7 points. She also had a great defensive outing against the Maidens.

The Lady Cubs then played in the 3rd place game against the host school.

All in all, it was a good tournament for the girls with a record of 2-2 for the tournament. The Lady Cubs have now won 4 games on the season which already equals the total number of wins for last season. The Lady Cubs are working hard and are heading in the right direction. Coach Faught recognized the improvement his squad showed this weekend and states that “The girls really worked hard during this tournament and showed a whole lot more of what we are capable of. Shot selection and making shots is still an area we need to work on, as well as blocking out and rebounding.”

Coach Faught recognized Senior, Kori Holt as his player of the tournament. “Kori is a player we have to have on the floor. She is our best defender and best rebounder.” states Faught.

The Lady Cubs will be at home on Tuesday, December 6 at 6:00 against the Muleshoe Lady Mules before heading to Stanton for the Stanton Hooptown Tourney on Thursday through Saturday. The Ladies will face Merkel in the first game of the tourney on Thursday afternoon at 3:00.
