The West Central Area Lady Knights hosted Ashby on Thursday night to take on the Arrows in the opening round of the Section 6A playoffs. 

The game started out with solid possessions for the Knights and they started to build a lead.  At halftime the lead was 29-12.  The second half saw the Arrows never give up and battle until the final buzzer sounded and the score was 62-43.

The Lady Knights were led tonight by Lexi Bright with 20 points, 5 steals and 3 rebounds.  Brynn Fernholz had 13 points, 4 steals and 2 rebounds.  Elizabeth Rustan had 12 points, 10 rebounds, 2 steals and a block.  Kennedy Ulrich 8 points and 4 rebounds.  Hailey Bennett had 4 points, 4 rebounds, 2 steals and an assist.  Kaitlyn Hansen had 3 points and an assist on the night.  Kaylyn Ulrich scored 2 points and grabbed 3 rebounds and 2 steals. Teagan Nelson had 4 rebounds, an assist and a steal.  Claire Stark had 7 rebounds and an assist.  Halle Foslien had 3 rebounds.  Brooke Anderson and Chloe LaRue each had a rebound.

“The opening round of the playoffs sees everyone playing for their seasons and anxious energy comes from everywhere.  For the girls to come out and battle that, and battle the hard working Arrows with nothing to lose, was a positive.  We will get ready for Saturday now,” said Head Coach Eric Schoenbauer.

The Lady Knights travel to Morris on Saturday afternoon to take on the Wolverines in the next round of section 6A playoffs.
