Lady Warriors are two games away from the playoffs
Head coach Ted Fontenot was looking for good things out of his Oakdale Lady Warriors before the season began as they returned seven players from last season including two seniors Treshunda Joseph and Setorie St. Andre. The team has done good things at this point of the season with an 18-9 overall record and a district record of 6-4 with two games to go.
As a team the Lady Warriors are scoring 51.9 points per game and are shooting at 41-percent from the field. The team is also averaging 30.8 rebounds per game, 12.1 assists per game, 14.6 steals per game, and four blocks per game.
Five players Treshunda Joseph, Setorie St. Andre, Alexis Davis, KeMaesha St. Andre, and Sanaa St. Andre have played in all 27 games to this point. The freshman Sanaa St. Andre is leading the quintet with 16-points per game and 4.7 steals per game. She is tied with Joseph in assists with 3.1 per game and is behind only KeMaesha St. Andre in rebounds per game.
In their previous two games, the Lady Warriors easily handled Bunkie for the second time this season by winning 83-36 at home on senior night Tuesday and lost on the road Friday against University Academy 50-44.
"We came out with some good defense and were able to control the game from the tip off," said Fontenot about the Bunkie win. "Our two seniors were honored and both had some good nights. I was pleased with the offense and defense our team played this night."
Fontenot's seniors combined to shoot 37-percent from the field for 23 points. KeMaesha St. Andre led all scorers with 20-points shooting at a 70-percent clip from the field and shot six-for-seven from the free throw line. Joseph and Sanaa St. Andre were tied with 14 points. Alexis Davis batted 1.000 from the free throw line going four-for-four. She added eight points from the field on seven attempts.
Sanaa St. Andre in the loss to University Academy scored over half of the team's 44-points. She went nine-for-22 from the field at a 41-percent clip including 12-points from three point range in nine attempts.
"We came out a little flat and it showed," said Fontenot. "It was the first time playing on that big college floor (at Louisiana College) and that takes some getting used to. We were down the entire game and down by five at haltime. UA played a solid game and we just could not take the lead the entire night. We pressed late in the game and got some turnovers to get within 4 points but we just could not get closer than that."
