Lauren Viessman of Blair Oaks tries to shoot against the defense of Fatimas Annie Bock (24) during Saturday's game in Wardsville. <\/p>\n
But they more than made up for it with their pressure defense and rebounding. <\/p>\n
I was very pleased with those two aspects of the game, for sure, Fatima coach Dustin Hays said Saturday after the Lady Comets rolled to a 54-23 win against Blair Oaks. Were still a work in progress offensively. <\/p>\n
Fatima (10-1) was 20-of-52 from the field, but forced 24 turnovers and out-rebounded Blair Oaks (4-4) 33-26 17-12 on the offensive glass. <\/p>\n
Fatima is a good team, Blair Oaks coach Leroy Bernskoetter said. Theyre 10-1 for a reason. They scrap, theyre aggressive, theyre just a good team. <\/p>\n
Morgan Brandt scored a game-high 12 points to lead Fatima, while Annie Bock added nine and Leah Kesel finished with eight for the Comets, who limited the Lady Falcons to a 8-of-35 performance from the field. <\/p>\n
Defensively, we were talking about getting pressure up top, but also sprinting back, Hays said. We got a lot of turnovers on the other side of the floor when we sprinted back and got into position. <\/p>\n
