The Lady Broncos played solid basketball against the Memphis Lady Cyclones on the road last week defeating them 76-21.
The maroon and white have been putting up huge numbers this season with three pointers coming from all nine members of the team. The ladies were able to connect with eight big shots from the arc against the Lady Cyclones who were not able to stop their offensive attack.
Not only can the Lady Broncos shoot the three-ball, but their shots from the bonus line have been sharp as well. They were able to convert 11 of 15 free shots against Memphis and Gracie Ellis and Tandie Cummins were perfect each going two for two. Kenidee Hayes hit five of six and Berkley Moore finished at 50%.
Defensively, the Lady Broncos are fun to watch as they are aggressive and quick, shutting down anything their opponent tries offensively. They are able to cause turnovers and convert break-aways easily.
Hayes finished in front of the pack with 16 and Moore and Kennadie Cummins turned in 11 apiece. Kate Shaw is deadly inside and put in 10 to finish off those scoring in double figures and Ellis helped with nine. Kashlyn Conkin and Madi Benson put in six points each, T. Cummins had four and Hayden Elam connected from the arc for three.
The Lady Broncos are looking to go deep in the playoffs and a state game is not out of the question. Currently ranked #10 in the state polls, the ladies are as solid as any other team in the rankings. They will play Wheeler at home on January 17 and travel to Quanah January 21.
