Fellow freshman AJ Navarro scored 14 points and handed out six assists for the Lady Wildcats. She also hit 3 of 4 from 3-point range.
Their big nights complimented Trigg County’s lone senior Reese Bush, who scored 19 points, pulled down seven assists, and dished out six assists.
Trigg County got out to a 22-3 lead and never let the Lady Eagles get closer than 19 points after the first quarter.
The Lady Wildcats shot 68% from the field, hitting 24 of 34 inside the arc and 10 of 16 behind it.
The game was Trigg’s best offensive night of the season. They tallied a season-high 24 assists on 34 made baskets. Alexis Mayes had eight assists for Trigg, the most of any Lady Wildcat this season. The result was a 48-18 Trigg advantage in the paint.
