The week started Tuesday night with a 48-25 win on the road at Opelousas Catholic. "I took control of the game from the tip off, and (we) played well," said head coach Ted Fontenot. "Sanaa St Andre had a triple-double with 14 points, 10 rebounds and 11 steals. KaMeasha St Andre had a double-double with 21 points and 10 rebounds."
KaMeasha St Andre shot 10 for 17 from the field at a 59% clip, and Sanaa St Andre shot six for 16 at a 38% clip. Sanaa St Andre added to her point total by going two for six from the three-point range. Leading the way from the free throw line were KaMeasha St Andre going one for three and Treshunda Joseph who went one for two.
A night later Fontenot's team began play in the Avoyelles Tournament with a 72-46 win against host Avoyelles. "We had 18 turnovers in the first half which found us down by 3 at the half," said the coach. "(But) we only had three turnovers in the second half. We pulled away in the fourth quarter outscoring them 24-2."
Propelling her team to the win was KaMeasha St Andre with her second double-double in as many nights. She scored 38 points to go with her 12 rebounds. Twelve of her points came from the free throw line in 14 attempts. Joseph was next in line in the scoring leader category with her 17 points, and Sanaa St Andre also added a double-double with 15 points and 10 rebounds.
The tournament concluded Saturday with the team going one and one in the Win-Loss column. The loss came by one point to Pineville by a score of 41-40, while the win came in the night cap agaist J.S. Clark as the Lady Warriors dominated 46-8.
"In the Pineville game, we came out slow," said Fontenot. "I think we were intimidated by their post player so we did not want to take the ball inside the lane. In the second game, we were better than (J.S. Clark), and we took control from the start. In the second half, our young players got to play which was good for them to get experience."
The team competes Thanksgiving week in Sacred Heart's Turkey Tournament in Ville Platte where it meets up with Crowley in the opening contest.
