The Lady Jaguars improved to 8-3 during the process after recording a convincing, 59-37, win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m extremely proud of my team,\u201d Mahan said. \u201cI\u2019m usually not this excited about a performance in a Christmas Tournament but this tournament had some special teams in it that is rare to see. Their depth of athleticism is something we don\u2019t see very often, especially in three consecutive games like we did.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chloe McKnight and Brooke Nichelson led North Laurel with 17 points apiece while Jaelyn Black continued her consistent play with a 14-point scoring effort. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cChloe McKnight and Brooke Nichelson both had 17 and we expect that or more from them every game, but Jaelyn Black really stepped up today,\u201d Mahan said. \u201cShe has another level of play that she hasn\u2019t consistently showed early this season but the last fourbgames she has been a different player. She went 4-for-4 in the first half from 3, and that took our entire offense to a higher level. Her energy was on both sides of the ball, too.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Lady Jaguars built a 28-14 lead in the first half before using an 18-8 run in the third quarter to put the game away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
