Lady Eagles advance to Championship games

On Monday evening the Oran High School girls basketball teams participated in the semi-final rounds of the Scott-Mississippi Conference Tournament in Charleston.  The junior varsity rolled over East Prairie, 81-12 and the varsity edged Delta 50-46

For the Jayvee,  Oran led 22-8 after one and tossed shut outs in the second and third quarters en rout to the 69 point win.

Traci Hency led all scorers with 25.  Hannah  Boshell finished with 20 and Dayley Siebert added 18.

Haley Webb had eight.  Emma Priggel and Lydia Tankersly both scored four and Taylor Hobbs rounded out the scoring with a field goal.

They were 9 of 23 at the line for 39.1% and improved their record to 6-1 and will face Kelly on Thursday at 6:30 pm for the championship.  Oran won the regular-season matchup 53-11 about three weeks ago.

**Rylee Boshell injury update.  According to her dad, "She had an open dislocation of the thumb which basically means the joint was dislocated but the bottom bone was sticking through the skin, but the bones were not actually broke.  She is in a splint/cast to keep immobilized and waiting on MRI to make sure all tendons are good (which it appears is the case so far), which would mean no surgery.  The orthopedic surgeon said that she will be out 6-7 weeks.  Again, will know more after MRI."

The Varsity contest saw the Lady Eagles taking on the Lady Bobcats for the third and final time this season.  Oran led 20-15 at the half, but just 29-27 after three. The Lady Eagles picked up the narrow win despite shooting just 9 or 25 from the line for 36%.

Kaylee Payne led all scorers with 21.  Katie Webb scored 14 and grabbed a team-high nine boards. 

Taylor Lowes had five points, including a trey.  Grace Davis had four, Heather Gosche and Hope Woodfin had three apiece.  Payne and Davis each had seven rebounds,  Payne and Gosche dished out three assists apiece.

The girls were 19-39 indside the arc for 48.7% and 1-4 from beyond for 25%.

They improved to 14-3 and will face Scott County Central at 7:45 Thursday for the crown.  The Lady Eagles won the early season match up 69-52 at home.
