Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Kellam to victory, but perhaps none more so than Caroline Casady, who dropped a double-double with 15 points and 17 rebounds. Casady has been hot for a while, having posted eight or more boards the last 21 times she's played. The team also got some help courtesy of Kate Spain, who went 8-for-12 to rack up 21 points and four steals.
Kellam smashed the offensive glass and finished the game with 18 offensive rebounds. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now pulled down at least eight offensive boards in 21 consecutive contests.
Meanwhile, Deep Creek took their game on Tuesday with ease, bagging an 81-36 win over Ocean Lakes. Given the Hornets' advantage in MaxPreps' Virginia basketball rankings (they are ranked 17th in Virginia, while the Dolphins are ranked 114th in Virginia), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Deep Creek is on a roll lately: they've won 14 of their last 15 matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 19-5 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 28.5 points over those games. Kellam's victory bumped their record up to 23-1.
Kellam strolled past Deep Creek in their previous matchup back in December of 2024 by a score of 56-38. Will Kellam repeat their success, or does Deep Creek have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
