The Lady Redskins faced the Lady Wildcats on February 14. Coach Chad Rumer sent the senior class out with a win over cross county rival Madill. This was the last meeting against Madill that this group will have. Not their last home game as the Regional Tournament will come to the KMAC Feb. 23-25. The final score was 56 to 35.
The Lady Redskins started all seniors on senior night, Kamry Bohannon, Olivia Quapaw, Ethel Stewart, Lanis French and Kaya Wiebener. Bohannon took the tip off at center court and went to work. She was all over the court. Scoring, rebounding, and defending.
She had three buckets and hit her only free throw attempt. Stewart had two inside buckets, Jaci Herndon came in and had a bucket. Meanwhile, the defense was spot on. At the end of the first, the Lady Redskins were in control, 13 to 5.
In the second, Quapaw got busy, she had four buckets. Bohannon matched her with four of her own. Emily Bellettini had a bucket. It was all Lady Redskins as they went to the lockers up, 31 to 14.
Bohannon again had multiple baskets with two. Herndon had a three pointer, the only three of the night for the Lady Redskins and had a two-point field goal. Stewart and Wiebener were both 2 of 2 from the line. After three quarters, the Lady Redskins lead was 44 to 25.
Again, Bohannon and Quapaw took care of business. Quapaw had a three, a two-point field goal and was 2 of 2 from the line. Bohannon had a bucket and was 1 of 2 from the line. She also had a pretty steal as she dove out of bounds, caught it, and passed it back to a waiting teammate. Bellettini had another bucket. The bench took over with 2:13 to play. The Lady Redskins won, 56 to 35.
Box Score: Bohannon lead the team with 22 points. Quapaw was next with 13. Herndon had seven, Stewart with six, Bellettini had four and Wiebener had two. French played well with several assists (one in particular to Quapaw) and a rebound. This was the “Shoe” game and it will remain with the Lady Redskins.
