The Lady Jackets basketball team wins 2 in a row after losing to district foe Courtland.  After a tough loss, the next game can’t come soon enough as the Jackets gain wins against Spotsylvania and Caroline to run their record to 9-4 and 5-2 in the district and took sole possession of 2nd place.  On Friday, the Jackets poured it on Spotsylvania 62-35 as Kirastin Cole netted 25 points. Akira Jones had a strong game with 10 and DaeQuana Bryant knocked down  two 3 pointers and added 9 points in the victory.  The Jackets had to come back with a bang on Saturday, as the young Cavaliers jumped to a 13 point halftime lead; only to see the Jackets play a stellar 1-3-1 defense in the 2nd half to rally to defeat Caroline 62-57. It was a total team effort!  Again, Kirastin Cole led the way posting a double-double of 32 points and 14 rebounds.  Kirastin is currently ranked 1st in the area in scoring and 2nd in the Washington Post listings and is also on the early watch list for All-Met. Backcourt mate Brittini McFadden had 11 and Kristen Williams provided some help with 8 points and 5 rebounds.  Reserve Jasmine Tyler continues to contribute off the bench providing tough defense and rebounding.  After the break for exams, the Jackets will travel to Culpeper on Wednesday.  GO LADY JACKETS!
