Clay falls
If there were any doubts of Rockcastle County (11-1) deserving their No. 3 ranking those thoughts were erased after a 59-34 win over Clay County Saturday at Keith Gym. Clay (7-4) got on the board first with a Kari Ealy three point basket but Rockcastle's Tara Rowe countered with a three of her own.
Two steals by Johnna Abney led to easy lay ups giving the visitors a 7-3 lead but Clay got baskets from Page Jackson and Jayme "Skooly" Gilbert to pull even. However, the Lady Rockets forced numerous turnovers with their pressure defense and reeled off 14 straight points to lead 21-7. "Skooly's" three at the buzzer ended the streak and pulled Clay within 21-10 after the first period.
