KR FINDS MAD RIVER TITLE IS IN THE HOUSE
JUNIOR’S 51 POINTS SPARKS COUGARS WIN
RUSHSYLVANIA — Junior Jasmine House had the best game of her career at the right time as the junior scored a career-high 51 points and pulled down a game-high 16 rebounds to help Kenton Ridge defeat host Benjamin Logan 103-81 and win the Central Buckeye Conference Mad River Division girls basketball title Monday night.
Senior Jami Finney poured in 22 points and Stephanie Bennett scored 21 points, including four 3-pointers, to give the junior 73 3-pointers on the season.
“Jasmine played well tonight and Bennett and Finney had their 20 and they all played well this season,” praised Kenton Ridge coach Ed Foulk.
Kenton Ridge jumped out to a 24-14 lead after the first period and extended that lead to a 49-30 halftime margin.
The Cougars kept up the man-to-man defensive pressure in the second half and the Raiders never recovered as Kenton Ridge won its second straight Mad River Division crown.
“A division title is one of our first goals of the season,” commented Foulk who added that he believes his squad is ready for tournament time. “We have been improving as the season has gone along and we are peaking at the right time.”
The Cougars (19-1, 10-0) will face Eaton in the first round of the Division II sectional at Vandalia Butler at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday.
Ashley Cummins scored 19 points, Margo Burnside had 18 and Brittany McDonald added 15 for Benjamin Logan (14-6, 8-2), which finished the regular season second in the Mad River.
