The girls basketball team is off to a 4-2 season start after wins against Indianapolis Northwest, Mount Vernon, Pike and Howe. It’s their best start in years.
The girls suffered their first loss of the year to Bloomington South, and they were defeated by North Central when they played in the Marion County Tournament.
In the team’s opening game against Northwest, sophomore Kyra Tucker led the Bears in scoring with 14 points, followed by junior Breanna Jones and senior Taylor Sanders with 12 points each. Senior Kacey Johnson also contributed 11 rebounds, the game high, and added another 11 points to the 66-52 victory for the Bears. Three players went into double figures in the Lady Bears first home game, against Mount Vernon. Sanders led in scoring with 16 points while Johnson and Jones scored 14 and 11 points, respectively. Jones also led the team in rebounds with seven. LC went on to win 58-49.
The team’s first loss was also their first conference game, against Bloomington South. The Bears were kept to only 36 points by their opponents. Seniors led the way in scoring with 13 points for Sanders and 10 for Johnson.
Upcoming games are against Bloomington North and Lawrence North, who both have winning records. Coach John Albers said he wants the girls to keep giving their all and playing well.
“Our focus is to play our best every time we step on the floor,” he said. He believes the main keys to success are being a team and respecting others.
“We have to play as if every game is a championship game,” Albers said.
The team is doing well, but Albers wants the team to work on communication on the floor and execution.
The girls next game is against Columbus North at home.
The boys swim team is off to an 8-0 start. They came through and beat Pike 100-85 in their first meet, Roncalli 93-92 in their second and continued their winning ways as they swam past …
