Coach Ted Fontenot's basketball team continued its hot start to the season with a commanding 31-point win at Basile as the Lady Warriors won 68-37 and improved to 7-1 closing out the month of November.
"I think (the) game was a challenge for us playing on the road and Basile coming out shooting the ball as well as they did," said a humble Fontenot about his team's performance. "We were down early, and we responded by staying together and we kept fighting through the deficient. That is the sign of a team learning to play together. Alexis Davis gave us some good minutes and scored 18-points by playing hard. Sanaa and KaMesha St Andre had good scoring nights also."
The road team tied the game at 17 at the end of the first quarter on a buzzer beater from Treshunda Joseph. Sanaa St Andre then lead off the second quarter with a three pointer. A scoring run followed on the part of the Lady Warriors before a timeout was called by the Basile coach at the 4:44 mark of the second quarter with his team down 28-17.
Coming out of the timeout, Basile hit a three making it an eight point game then got a layup. Sanaa St Andre then scored on back-to-back baskets to get her team back on track as it ended the first half leading 34-25.
At the end of three quarters of play in Bearcat country, Oakdale led 48-31. Sanaa St Andre got a basket ending about a two minute scoring drought beginning a 6-0 scoring run. Basile called a full timeout at the 4:50 mark down 56-32 and then scored a basket from beyond the arc in a last ditch effort of a losing battle.
Fontenot said after his team got the win, "I think the best is yet to come for our team."
