The KCI Raiders and Southwood Sabres showcased their offensive abilities in a game on Tuesday afternoon, with the Raiders coming away with a 65-49 victory.
The game was notable for a couple of reasons ---- firstly, it was the highest scoring combined point total of any WCSSAA junior game this season (114), and the only game where both teams have combined for more than 100 points.
More importantly, despite the loss, Southwood's grade 9 scoring phenom Taylor White put on a scoring clinic on Tuesday night, accounting for 45 of her squad's 49 points.
This marked the first time since I've been keeping this blog that a junior or senior girl in CWOSSA has cracked the 40 point barrier. Natalie Achnowa (ex-CCVI, now at Notre Dame) did have 41 against JF Ross back in a 2006 junior girls playoff game, which is the highest scoring effort that I can recall in recent memory.
As for White? Her play has been crucial to Southwood getting into the playoffs. She's scored 65% or more of Southwood's points in 5 games. Her top efforts have included (Southwood points in brackets):
45 vs. KCI (49)
27 vs. GCI (35)
27 vs. GRCI (41)
26 vs. JHSS (30)
21 vs. BCI (27)
21 vs. EDSS (39)
She's really come on down the stretch in terms of her scoring, and ended up leading the WCSSAA league at slightly over 20 PPG.
