The Crest Lady Lancers pushed their win streak to three games after crushing the Chetopa Hornets 71-6 Tuesday night.
In a score more reminiscent of an 8-man football blowout, the Lady Lancers pumped the brakes with only 14 points in the second half, saving their legs for Friday’s contest against Waverly.
Despite dramatically limiting their second-half attack, Crest had three players reach double-digits scoring. Senior guard Aylee Beckmon had a team-leading 15 points, followed by senior forward Kinley Edgerton’s 14 point contribution, then 12 points from junior guard Jaycee Schmidt, who hit the Lady Lancers’ only first half 3-pointer.
Crest seemed unstoppable in the paint.
The Lady Lancers had 18 field goals in the first quarter alone, 21 total.
With the win, Crest improved to 14-3 and 9-1 in the Three Rivers League for third place.
They step away from TRL action Thursday for an away game against Madison. The final score was not available at press time.
The Lancers host Southern Coffey County (1-13, 1-10) Friday, who comes into the contest a bit more confident after defeating Chetopa 37-29 Friday. Tip-off is at 6 p.m.
