The Whitley County Lady Colonels will wrap up play in the Daytona Beach Sunshine Classic before returning home to face Corbin Tuesday night.
The Lady Colonels lost to Louisville Christian Academy Monday night, 61-26 before picking up the 59-2 win on Tuesday over Atlantic High School out of Florida.
“We played a really, really good basketball team,” Coach Sean Pigman said of Louisville Christian has one of the top point guards in Kentucky and three players over six feet tall.
Pigman noted that the Lady Colonels were down by two after the first quarter, but Louisville Christian went on a 12-0 run and then blew the game open from there.
“They keep the pressure up,” Pigman said. “They are going to do that to a lot of people.”
The Lady Colonels will close out the tournament on Thursday against Owsley County.
“We have got a lot of kids that are playing in new roles, so we are learning,” Pigman said. “But as far as the way we are playing, it has been pretty consistent.”
Whitley County will return from Florida to host Corbin on Tuesday night.
“We are going to worry about us,” Pigman said of facing the Lady Redhounds who are the top 13th Region team based on RPI.
