This game really started out sloppy by both teams. Each had 6 TO's after the first quarter. Paintsville led 11-10.

Samantha Howard scored 10 points in the second as Pikeville took a 28-24 halftime lead.

In the 3rd, Shawna Howard had 8 and Chelsee Jarrell had 6 with Pikeville still holding the lead at 41-40.

The 4th brought more sloppy play with Paintsville outscoring Pikeville 19-14 for the win.

Pikeville:
Samantha Howard 19 points, 4 3's
Shawna Howard 18 points
Shockey 6 points
Harris 12 points

Paintsville:
L. Carroll 8 pts, 5 reb, 2 assists
K. Carroll 16 pts, 6 reb, 4 assists
Hall 8 pts, 4 reb, 2 assists
Russell 11 pts, 5 reb, 2 assists, 4 steals
Jarrell 14 pts, 15 reb ( 8 offensive), 2 assists, 4 steals, 2 blocks

I thought Russell played another great game. She came up with some huge steals and rebounds. Jarrell came up big with rebounds and steals.

Paintsville did shoot 43% from the field. When they shoot like that, they'll beat a lot of teams.

Congrats to Paintsville.

Good luck to both teams in the district. Hopefully you'll meet in the region on a neutral court.
