The Lady Coyotes brought home a second big win when they hosted the South Platte Lady Blue Knights on Thursday, Feb. 18.

More big scoring early on was met with much of the same from the Big Springs ladies, as the first quarter ended with a tied score at 15 points each. The Lady Coyotes earned 13 in the second and held their opponents to just eight closing out the first half with a 28-23 lead.

The Potter-Dix girls came back from halftime ready to play some ball and they added another 15 on the board by the end of the third quarter while the visitors scored just five.

In the final the Lady Knights stepped their game up a bit and added nine to the board while Potter-Dix added eight, but the comeback was not enough to tie up a win for the visitors.

Juelfs led the Coyotes with 18 points to her credit, netting seven of 12 attempted field goals and shooting 4/5 from the line. Sharman followed with 14 including a whopping four treys!

Rozelle added nine to the board and McLaughlin contributed six while Glass and Langley each added two.

Although rebounding was down from the previous game, Juelfs and Rozelle each pulled down nine. Turnovers were higher, at 18 as were personal fouls with a total of 24. Of those, McLaughlin and Langley each fouled out and Rozelle racked up four.

In the end, the Lady Coyotes pulled together matching wins last week. Coming up the Potter-Dix girls with a 15-16 record for the season will host the Hyannis Lady Longhorns, also 15-16 in the season, on Friday, Feb. 26 for a non-league game.
