The Lady Broncos defeated the Claude Lady Mustangs in a low-scoring game last week that ended at 28-15.
Six different Lady Broncos hit big three-pointers when they needed to and let their defense dictate the tempo of the game.
The Lady Broncos’ defense played aggressively and sent Claude to the line 10 times for 60 percent. The ladies only saw the bonus line four times and converted 50 percent of them.
According to coach Korey Conkin, the girls did a great job stopping Claude’s biggest scorers.
“The girls played really well against Claude,” Conkin said. “Nothing but threes from six different girls in the first three quarters. (Hayden) Elam and (Kenidee) Hayes had a solid effort shutting down their leading scorer while holding her to only free throws. (Courtlyn) Conkin and (Kennadie) Cummins were able to shut down their 6’2” inside threat and hold her to only two points”
Lady Bronco newcomer Baylee Gabel is a former Lady Mustang and had an outstanding performance according to Conkin.
“It was an emotional matchup with her former teammates,” Conkin said. “We are so blessed to get to play with her and not against her anymore.”
Gabel finished with two three’s and six total points, and Finley Cunningham ended with two three pointers. Elam ended with seven points that included going two for two from the free throw line and one three, while Hayes, Conkin, and Makenna Shadle had one three each.
The ladies will participate in the Miami Tournament December 1-3 and host Vega on December 6 at 6:30.
