The Lady Cardinals (8-5) turned in a 23-of-51 shooting effort while going, 10-of-22 from behind the arc, to capture their third straight win while advancing to the championship game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGreat team win tonight,\u201d South Laurel coach Chris Souder said. \u201cRed Boiling Springs had just beat a really good Franklin County the night before. Once again being tied and at the half, we changed some things defensively that really helped our kids. We also hit five of our 10 3-pointers in third quarter. We then did a great job valuing the basketball in the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEmily Cox led us and did a great job talking with our younger players throughout the second half,\u201d he added. \u201cSuper proud of our kids and we are just striving to get better every time out.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
South Laurel totaled 34 rebounds, and went 8-of-10 from the free-throw line as Emily Cox led the way with 22 points, and six rebounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
