On Monday Lakin Van Essendelft made a splash, scoring 19 points along with six steals. It looks like she has Pamlico Christian Academy's number considering she had a big game the last time she faced them, too. She's been particularly strong when it comes to steals, as the match was her eighth straight with two or more. For the season, Van Essendelft has averaged 15 points, 2.7 steals, and 1.4 blocks per contest.
Van Essendelft and Terra Ceia Christian won't have much time to rest: their next contest is against Ahoskie Christian at 6:30 p.m. on January 30th. Van Essendelft hasn't had any trouble running up the score (she's averaged 15 per game this season), but it's looking like she'll have her work cut out for her against Ahoskie Christian's dominant defense.
