KELLY GIRLS 8-0 AFTER TOURNEY WIN

BROSELEY -- Scott City and Kelly met with totally different fates Saturday during the opening round of the 16-team Twin Rivers girls basketball tournament.

Scott City suffered a 45-43 overtime loss to East Carter County while Kelly rolled past Senath-Hornersville 54-19.

The Lady Rams regretted their 9-for-22 performance at the free throw line in their overtime setback. Ashley Lynn scored a game-high 19 points for Scott City (3-3), followed by Lisa Sanders' 13 points.

"At times we play well and at times we make some very youthful mistakes," said Scott City coach Randall White. "But we had our chances. You go 9 for 22 at the line and lose by two, that tells the story. Normally we hit our free throws."

Tisha Maxwell scored 14 points to lead East Carter.

Scott City will take on Charleston at 10:30 a.m. today in a consolation game.

Meanwhile, Kelly (8-0) remained undefeated as the tournament's fifth seed rolled past Senath. Marissa Essner scored 19 points, Audrey Burford had 12 and Bridgett Riley added 10.

"We're doing pretty well, but the games are going to get a whole lot tougher," said Kelly coach Curtis Finley.

The Lady Lawks will face Ellington at 1:30 p.m. today in the quarterfinals.
