On January 11th, the Barbourville Lady Tigers hosted the rival Lynn Camp Lady Cats in their first district match-up of the season.

The Lady Tigers quickly established dominance over the Lady Cats with a 37-10 score at the half. After the half, the Lady Tigers came out with the same energy and determination. By the end of the game, they had almost doubled the score to 65-26.

This exciting district win was truly a team effort for the Lady Tigers. Every Lady Tiger played this game, and the team had 4 double digit scorers. They were on fire, with the whole team averaging a  48.8 shooting percentage that game. However, scoring is not the only thing the Lady Tigers did well. They also dominated the boards, outrebounding the Lady Cats 32-22.

This win was a very special win for the Lady Tigers, as it was the first district win since 2014. The Lady Tigers are looking good this season and continue to improve every game. The next district match-up is on January 21st at Knox Central High School.
