SOUTHEASTERN TOPS GREENEVIEW TO CLINCH ANOTHER KTC CROWN
Staff Reports
JAMESTOWN - Southeastern clinched its seventh straight Kenton Trace Conference title with a 37-31 victory over Greeneview Saturday afternoon.
The Trojans, 18-0 and 13-0 in the KTC, have been undefeated in the league for seven straight years. They have won 64 straight and 137 out of their last 138 regular-season games.
“This is one that’s really important after you stop and think of what we graduated and after losing Amanda Stewart,” said Southeastern Coach Kirk Martin, in his eighth season. “I think this particular title just speaks for the tenacity of this group. They never cease to amaze me.
“We trailed at the end of the first three quarters and shot a season low 27 percent from the field,” Martin continued. “I believe this was the first time in seven years that we didn’t score 40 points in a game. But, these girls still had enough fire in them to pull together when they needed to. They played an outstanding second half and I’m as proud of this group and this title as any title we’ve won so far. Greeneview has a fine club.”
The game was close all the way until the final quarter. Southeastern’s offense and defense stepped it up a notch and outscored the Rams 13-6 to seal the win.
Kacey Gordin led the team in scoring with 13 points and Sarah Luginbill had 10 steals.
Greeneview is 17-2 and 11-2 in the KTC, with both of its losses to Southeastern. The Trojans won 47-31 on Dec. 9 in South Charleston.
The Rams were led by Kelly Swearingen’s 13 points.
