I saw this game last evening and Keni Jo finally showed why she scored 50 points in a high school game. She was back on track and seemed to have woke up with Rylie Torrey. This was by far the best game for both. Lakota was being double teamed most of the night and still had a good game. I took my granddaughter and enjoyed watching the game. Jordan Gilbert is starting to show her skills and should contribute much during the season even though her stats did not show her athleticism.
