Lady Trojans use pressure for points in 59-23 win at Slater
The defense was strong all night for the Community R-6 girls.
The Lady Trojans played “suffocating” defense, according to head coach Bob Curtis, on Friday to take a 30-13 halftime lead and then defeat Central Activities Conference foe Slater (1-3, 0-1 CAC) 59-23. Community (4-3, 2-0 CAC) finished with 36 points in the paint and four 3-pointers.
“We shot the ball well and got a lot of points off our press to get us started,” Curtis said. “If we shoot it well, we can compete with anybody as we have good team speed and we hit the boards well, and have been running better offense of late.”
Kylie Brooks led Community with 15 points and 11 rebounds, Peyton Beamer followed with 10 points and five assists, Alyssa Beamer had 10 points and three steals, Aaliyah Welch finished with nine points and seven rebounds, Brooklynn Glasgow had seven points, and Jocelyn Curtis had six points and six rebounds.
The Lady Trojans hosted conference foe Sturgeon (3-3, 1-0 CAC) on Tuesday before they played Harrisburg (2-4) at 2:45 p.m. at the Gary Filbert Classic in Mexico on Saturday.
Trojan offense has quiet start in 68-45 loss at Slater
Offense was a struggle for the Community R-6 boys in the first 11 minutes on Friday.
The Trojans scored the first points of the game at Central Activities Conference foe Slater before being scoreless for 11 minutes in their 68-45 loss. This put Community (2-5, 1-1 CAC) in a 42-17 hole at halftime before a 28-point second half against Slater (3-4, 1-0 CAC).
“We struggled to score at first but finally came around and started putting the ball in the basket,” head coach Kody Asquith said. “We also got into foul trouble fairly early in the game which sent them to the line more times than we would like.”
Mason Carroll led Community with 21 points, and Caden Thomas followed with 17 points.
