The Oakdale Lady Warriors on December 13, 2016, suffered their second loss of the season as they lost a two point game against the Kinder Lady Yellow Jackets 58-56.
"The (game) came down to the last basket, and on this night Kinder made the last one," head coach Ted Fontenot said. "I think we came out and started the game with some good intensity and carried that all the way through the first half. Kinder made a run at the end of the third quarter to tie the game going into the fourth. In the fourth quarter, we played hard but came up short at the end. We made some mistakes during the fourth quarter that cost us the game and Kinder shot the ball well from the outside."
The team collectively shot 40 percent from the field as compared to 36 percent shooting in its first loss of the season against Pineville. Shooting percentage from three point range increased from 14 percent against Pineville to 22 percent against Kinder. One key stat that went down in the loss against Kinder was free throw percentage. Against Pineville the team shot four for six from the charity stripe at a 66 percent clip as compared to going 12 for 29 at a 41 percent clip against Kinder.
Individual scoring leaders against Kinder were Sanaa St. Andre with 22 points and KeMaesha St. Andre with 19 points. Setorie St. Andre led her team in rebounding with seven, and the next highest was Brianna Hargrave with six. Sanaa St. Andre and Setorie St. Andre were each credited with five assists, and on defense Treshunda Joseph and Sanaa St. Andre each recorded three steals.
The two teams met up again three nights later in the Allen Parish Tournament, and this time Oakdale got the win by a score of 59-33. The Lady Warriors then lost 98-44 to the host team Fairview. More information from the tournament will be in next week's paper.
