The Lady Knights’ offensive tools once again spoiled an opponent’s game plan. “Everyone was hitting their threes,” Cabell Midland’s Stephanie Bias said. “Last time we were able to get it inside and score. This game was a lot different. We hit from the outside.” Hurricane’s game plan – to control the points scored against them in the paint – worked against the Lady Knights. Unfortunately for the Lady Redskins, Cabell Midland post players Emily Pitkin and Sierra Jordan were able to feed the ball to the guards and forwards who couldn’t miss a shot from the outside. “We were able to shut down the posts inside,” Hurricane Coach Austin Lowe said. “But they went to the outside with the ball, and they made their shots.” For the second time in seven days, Cabell Midland beat Hurricane, 68-48.
