The Lady Musketeers competed in the annual Candy Cane Classic Tournament held at Gibault High School Dec. 17- 21. They played three games in this tournament and competed very well. These were their last games before Christmas break.
The Lady Musketeers opened the tournament against the New Athens Yellow Jackets. Eager for their first game and hopefully first win of the tournament, everyone on the team was very excited and ready to play. The first quarter started out slower than the Musketeers wanted, but they bounced back and drew their lead out in the second quarter taking a 28-17 lead at the half. Talia Carter scored eight points followed by Lilly Minemann with seven, Addy Piel with four, Emma Carter three, and Jeda Friess, Norah Wagner, and Whelan all with two each.
