There's no place like home for Latta, who bounced back after a loss on the road last Wednesday. They simply couldn't be stopped on Tuesday as they easily beat the Cross Trojans 66-36. The Vikings have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won 13 matchups by 26 points or more this season.
Latta was led to victory by Azarriona Mcrae and Kaliya Herman. Mcrae almost dropped a triple-double with 14 points, 13 rebounds, and nine steals, while Herman posted 18 points in addition to six boards and five steals. The game was Herman's fourth in a row with at least 16 points. Jeziyah Page was another key player, putting up 16 points and five steals.
Latta smashed the offensive glass and finished the game with 26 offensive boards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now pulled down at least nine offensive rebounds in 11 consecutive contests.
Several Trojans players turned in solid performances despite ultimately coming up short. Perhaps the best among those players was Lauren Middleton, who had 11 points.
Latta pushed their record up to 18-6 with the win, which was their eighth straight at home. Those victories came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 22.0 points over those games. As for Cross, they have been struggling recently as they've lost three of their last four matches, which is still a better percentage than their 4-13 record this season.
Coming up, Latta will host Ridgeland at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday. Latta's defense has only allowed 28 points per game this season, so Ridgeland's offense will have their work cut out for them. Cross does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
