Lady Eagles post easy win to close out regular season


The Oran High School girls varsity basketball team rolled to a 99-33 win to close out the regular season last night at home against Scott-Miss opponent Scott City in front of a Lil' Cheer night crowd.

The Lady Eagles started all five seniors, as Claire Ramsey took the court for the opening seconds and Kaitlyn Streeter returned from illness.

Oran led 35-5 after one and margin increased as the night went along.

Coach Ethan Evans said, "It was a great result for our seniors’ final home game. We got up and down the floor and shot the ball very efficiently. Our defense created numerous opportunities for our offense. I can’t say enough about this special group of five seniors and it was nice to send them out with a victory in their final game at home."

Leah Cauble, once again out-scored the opponent.  This time she put in 44.  She hit three from beyond the arch and was 3-3 at the line.  She had four rebounds, four assists and five steals.  Kaylee Payne had 13 points and was 3-3 from beyond the three-point line.  Payne had four rebounds as well and dished out eight assists and had six steals, both team-highs.  Jessie Long had 10 points and six rebounds.

Taylor Lowes finished with nine points, including a pair of treys.  Savannah Below had seven points, Madison Ramsey hit a pair of treys for her six points.  Kaitlyn Streeter and Katie Webb had four apiece.  Webb had a team-high seven rebounds. Heather Gosche had a field goal.

They were 32 of 52 from two for 62%.  From three they made 10 of 22 for 46%. At the line, they hit 5-11 also 46%.

They finished 7-0 in league play and are now 19-6 as they head into the Class 2 District 3 tournament that starts tomorrow at Chaffee, as they look to claim a sixth straight district title.  The Lady Eagles are scheduled to play at 6 pm on Monday against the winner of tomorrow's Puxico vs Meadow Heights contest.  Of course, the weather seems as if it might be an issue.
