With a playoff win on the line, Lawrence North rose to the challenge on Saturday. They slipped by the Pike Red Devils 45-44. The 45-point effort marked the Wildcats' lowest-scoring game of the season, but in the end it didn't matter.
Lawrence North's win was the result of several impressive offensive performances. One of the most notable came from Kya Hurt, who went 6-for-10 en route to 14 points along with five rebounds and five steals. Hurt is also on a roll when it comes to field goal percentage, as she's posted one of at least 55% in the last three games she's played. Jamaya Thomas was another key player, going 6-for-9 to rack up 15 points.
Pike's defeat came despite a true team effort with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Alonna Divine, who posted 12 points in addition to five boards and three steals. Another player making a difference was Saniya Smith, who put up nine points.
Lawrence North is on a roll lately: they've won 13 of their last 17 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 18-8 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 61.2 points over those games. Pike moved to 20-7 with that loss, which also ended their five-game winning streak.
The teams didn't have to wait long for a rematch: Lawrence North beat Pike by a score of 45-44 later that day.
