East Carter snags BRL championship
The East Carter Lady Redbirds kept their hot streak rolling after finishing first in the Black River League Tournament on Saturday.
The Lady Redbirds used their first-round bye to their advantage. They coasted past Lesterville High School 92-61 in the semifinals and won the championship with a close 56-53 victory over Bunker High School.
Senior Breanna Dohleman led the Lady Redbirds with 10 points, Katelyn Nichols and Ciara Duckett both had nine, Parker Golden and Anna Crowley both had eight and Dylan Price finished with seven.
Head coach Angela Rodgers said playing in the Black River League tournament was a good experience for the Lady Redbirds as they continue to find their flow on the court.
“Bunker is a young and scrappy team that definitely gave us a run for our money,” Rodgers said. “It was by far not our best game this year, but we managed to hang on for the win. We’ve made some adjustments with players the past couple of games, so we’re still trying to find that flow. We’re sharing the ball well and making strides to be where we want to be when districts start.
The Lady Redbirds improved to 14-2 on the season and will travel to play Twin Rivers (10-5) on Tuesday.
