Friday night’s second game featured the host North Montgmery Lady Chargers squaring off against the Western Boone Lady Stars. The theme of the night for the Lady Chargers was turnovers as they committed nearly 30 of them allowing Western Boone to take command of the game in the second half on their way to a 61-46 victory.
North Montgomery and its freshman backcourt had their hands full as they were pressured by a stong Lady Stars backcourt led by Brandy Woody, my personal choice as the best guard in this part of the state and one of my favorite athletes to watch compete. After a shaky start, the Lady Chargers settled in and were able to have some success breaking the pressure and went into halftime only down 28-25.
Things took a turn for the worse in the third quarter as Western Boone had its best offensive quarter of the game while North Montgomery had its worst as the Lady Stars stretched their lead to 46-34 and never looked back.
The Lady Chargers were led by Kathryn Webster who finished with 14 points while Kelsi Byrd added 11.
Western Boone had three players finish in double digits, led by 19 each from Woody and Sarah Brewer and 15 from Jessica Walker.
North Montgomery drops to 1-1 on the season and Western Boone moves to 3-1 heading into Saturday nights final against Crawfordsville.
