Lead scorer Kevin Daniel scored 15 points and made
the all tournament team. Chase Armour also made the
all tournament team and scored 11 points. Brett Armour
also scored 11 points. Rounding out the top scorers, Kane
Duncan scored nine points.
Lakeview
Monday night was a rough night for the Leopards as
Lakeview controlled the tempo of the game.
During the first quarter Banks did a good job of holding
the Lakeview offense and was leading 13-12, but as the
game progressed so did the number of fouls being called.
A series of controversial calls by officials hampered the
Leopards during the second quarter. Ruth said that the play
ers got out of sync. During the second quarter Lakeview
scored 23 points while Banks only scored seven.
“We started off on fire,” said Ruth. “They started catch
ing back up with us ... the kids got it into their heads and
just folded up in the second quarter. We never recovered
from that. ... We lost focus, and we cannot do that.”
Ruth said that Lakeview deserves credit for playing a full
court, man-man defense and the Leopards were not execut
ing their press offense. Banks allowed 26 turnovers, many
coming off of the press.
Once the Leopards ran into foul trouble, several players
had to sit early including Duncan and Daniel. According to
Ruth, almost every player had four fouls.
“We will get better. Our kids are going to work hard,”
Ruth said. “No matter what the score is or how the game
is being officiated we have to stay focused and do what we
need to do.”
on Monday night.
The Lady Leopards cor
rected their mistakes from
the season opener against
Lakeview to take a 47-40
victory that came down to
the wire.
“We played a lot bet
ter defense tonight,” said
coach Jerry King after the
game. “We had three quar
ters of scoring rather than
just two. We communicat
ed a little bit better and
made smarter decisions
shooting.”
Lakeview tried early on
to shake Banks County, but
the Lady Leopards stuck
with them trailing only by
one point at the end of the
first quarter, 11-12. Putting
11 points up in the second
quarter, the Lady Leopards
were still trailing at the
half 22-25.
Making their move in
the third quarter, Banks
County put five points on
the boards and held the
Lady Lions to only two
points to tie 27-27. In the
final eight minutes of the
game Lakeview managed
to score 13 points, but
the Lady Leopards broke
through the defense scor
ing 20 points to end the
game 47-40 for Banks.
Leading the charge for
the ladies, Deasha Beasley
scored 12 points. Second
leading scorer Lauren
Kennedy totaled 10 points,
followed by Sam Kennedy
with nine points.
In addition, L. Kennedy
rebounded 14 and had four
blocks, Beasley led steals
with four and Lacey Saxon
picked up three assists and
scored seven points.
King said, “The big dif
ference [Monday night]
was defense. Beasley gave
us a big spark defensive
ly.”
Jackson County
In the championship
round of the Jackson
County Thanksgiving
Tournament on Nov. 25,
the Lady Leopards played
the worst game so far.
“We played flat-footed,”
said King. “We didn’t
shoot the ball well.”
Coach King said that
the ladies have to learn to
focus on how to benefit the
season rather than on the
particular game, when the
ladies play higher-classed
schools like Jackson
County.
“We are really getting to
work on our man defense
facing some of these
teams,” King said.
Undefeated Jackson
County went up 12-5 in
the first quarter, followed
by a 15-point increase in
the second quarter. At half
time, Banks was down by
18 points, 27-9.
In the third quarter, the
Banks defense was hard-
pressed to stop the Lady
Panther offense which
pushed Jackson County
up an additional 14 points
to extend the lead 41-17.
In the final quarter, Banks
was trying to hold on as
Jackson County went on to
win 53-25.
In the low scoring game,
S. Kennedy led Banks
County with eight points
followed by Beasley,
Kellany Merck and Jessica
Grisham each with three
points.
