CENTRAL GIRLS PICK UP WIN OVER KNIGHTS

FARMINGTON -- Cape Central knocked off district foe Farmington with an impressive 67-54 victory Tuesday night.

The Lady Tigers got 18 from Dionna Webb, 14 from Sara Hyslop and 12 from Katie Dougherty.

"We played hard," said Central coach Darrick Smith. "We had some good performances."

Central's Heather Jenkins got her first playing time in well over a month after suffering a knee injury. She scored two points.

"She did some good things," Smith said. "She was a bit rusty, but it was just good to see her out there."

Hyslop hit eight of her nine free throws late in the game.

Central will play host to fourth-ranked Poplar Bluff tonight at 7:30.

"That should be a good game," Smith said. "I hope we don't disappoint, but I don't think we will."

Poplar Bluff defeated Central 51-37 in the HealthSouth Classic on Dec. 22.

"Now we've got Heather back and have a deeper bench," Smith said. "There were a lot of factors to consider in that first game."

Delta Tournament

DELTA -- Fourth-seeded Chaffee got 27 points from freshman point guard Jennifer Vandeven and improved to .500 for the first time this season in a 68-57 victory over seventh-seeded Delta in the consolation championship game of the Delta Tournament Wednesday night.

Top-seeded Twin Rivers defeated second-seeded Dexter 48-33 in the championship game and St. Vincent took third place with a 48-32 win over Oran.

Morgan Kiefer added 18 for Chaffee, followed by Jodi Pfefferkorn's 12 points on four 3-pointers.

"We finally had a total team effort," said Chaffee coach Tammy Brock. "We kind of put it all together tonight. We shot a little better and blocked out a little better."

Delta got 25 points from Rebecca Below. Erin Cook added 10 points for Delta.

In the third-place game, fifth-seeded St. Vincent got 10 points from Danielle Sutterer and held every Oran player to eight points or less.
