Kankakee Valley High School

After last Monday’s snow cancellation, the Lady Kougars C-Team was ready to get back on the hardwood. Tonight they welcomed another DAC team into the Kougar Den for an early evening contest. The game started out a little slow as the Portage Lady Indians used their size and physicality in a 2-3 zone limiting the Lady Kougars to just 6 points in the opening frame falling behind 11-6. But in the 2nd quarter the Kougars responded with their trapping defense and execution of the zone offense to tally their own 11 points while holding the Indians to just a free throw. Halftime score was 17-12 in favor of KV. The second half saw an intense defensive battle with both teams deflecting passes and diving for loose balls. The Lady Kougars would muster only 2 baskets in each of the final two frames. The difference was they were able to hold the Lady Indians to just 1 basket in each quarter extending their lead for a final score 25-17. The balance scoring was lead by sophomore Riley Jones with 7, Maci Schoon and Tinley Van Meter had 6 each, Aubree Bristol added 4, and Brooklyn Whitt had 2. Lindsey Crowley and Laney Walstra helped contain and blockout the much taller and more physical Portage team. Next up for the Lady Kougars C-Team will be their 3rd DAC opponent as they’ll travel to Chesterton Monday November 24th at 6pm. These young ladies are not backing down!
