The Lady Indians improved to 6-5 with the win, while the Lady Hawks dropped to 7-4.

“I think the wheels are starting to turn on our offensive and defensive scheme,” said Kelly coach Matthew Blissett. “They are starting to understand what we are looking for. I think now we just have to learn how to match it with our intensity and hustle.”

Anekia Farmer scored a game-high 21, and Taleigh Harrell added 12 for Kennett.
