Coming off a big 33-21 win at Saline on Friday night, the Choudrant Lady Aggies are looking to build on that victory as they play host to St. Frederick at 6 p.m. today in the CHS Main Gym.
Choudrant took control early on against Saline, outscoring the Lady Cougars 16-4 in the opening stanza en route to a 20-10 halftime advantage.
“We played really well defensively against Saline so I am hoping that carries over into the St. Frederick game,” said Lady Aggies coach Brandy Roberson. “We have done a decent job of playing defense this year, we just have to work on scoring more.”
That defense stymied Saline late as the Lady Aggies held the Lady Cougars 12 points in the third quarter and only two points in the fourth.
“Defense is our foundation,” Roberson said. “We have to get better offensively, but our defense is very important for us, especially as we looking to improve on our scoring.”
Breese Brown led the Lady Aggies against Calvin with 13 points while Brelyn Pyle hit for six points, Abby Frazier hit for five and Piper Jackson and Sadie Jones chipped in with four points each.
“Reese is playing really well,” Roberson said. “She is averaging 12 points a game and 5 steals, which plays a huge role in her defense and scoring ability.”
Next up is a great unknown as the Lady Aggies (8-11) play host to St. Frederick at 6 p.m. tonight. The Lady Warriors are 0-1 after falling 51-18 on Dec. 11.
“I don’t know anything about St. Fred’s,” Roberson admitted. “I am just hoping that if we go out there and play good defense and play our game, that we will be OK.”
