Archie visits during senior parent night

By RICHARD HETTINGER
The Archie Lady Winds were treated rudely last Friday on Senior Parent Night. The Lady Cats started the night with a good shooting effort on one end of the floor and played strong defense on the other end. They jumped off to a nice 15 point lead behind the hot shooting of Baylee Kendrick who dropped in four treys and had 18 points when the half time buzzer had sounded. Evidently Baylee must have felt bad about assisting in such a lead when she scored two for Archie as the second half began?
Quarter number two was the deciding point in the game as Drexel outscored their visitors 14 to 3.
The second half was pretty much of a standstill as the two teams matched basket for basket much of the way. Drexel continued to hold their lead and finished with a convincing win by the score of 50 to 37.
As a team, the Lady Cats made 18 of 53 shots from the field for 34%. They also had 9 assists, 26 rebounds, 13 steals and 1 blocked shot while committing only 11 turnovers. They had a very good night at the line making 10 of 12 for 83%.
Kendrick was the leading scorer with 22, Russell 13, Hocker 8, Gunnels 3 and Shipley and McAnany rounded out the numbers with 2 each. McAnany pulled down 11 rebounds, Hocker 8 while Russell and Gunnels each grabbed 7.
