<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"North Laurel scored early and often during its 84-39 win over Chattooga High School during Thursday\u2019s semifinal action of the ASA Christmas Clash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Lady Jaguars (6-2) built a 30-13 lead in the first quarter, and hit cruise control the remainder of the game during their 45-point win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOffensively, we did a good job tonight,\u201d North Laurel coach Eddie Mahan said. \u201cChattooga is an athletic team and had a good defensive plan early on but Jaelyn Black and Bella Sizemore both hit big early threes and it opened up our offense. We then were able to establish our post play. From that point, my girls relaxed and everything was clicking. I\u2019m proud of how we are playing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBrooke Nichelson was good offensively but is such a game changer on defense,\u201d he added. \u201cIt\u2019s a luxury to be able to sit back and allow her defense to turn into easy offense.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chloe McKnight, and Emily Sizemore both scored 20 points apiece in the win while Brooke Nichelson added 16 points, and Gracie McKnight followed with nine points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jaelyn Black finished with seven points, Bella Sizemore scored five points, and Mariella Claybrook scored two points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
