The Lady Cannoneers Fall to Rival the Lady Raiders.
On Sunday the Jefferson Women's Basketball team traveled to Fulton-Montgomery Community College to face off with their Region III rival. In the last 4 years there have been several edge of your seat games between the Lady Raiders and Lady Cannoneers. This year's matchup would be no different, Jefferson knocked down a season high 12 three point baskets behind the sharp shooting of Riley Luckie, Mikayla Horton, and Marisa Clark. Offensively both teams excelled from the floor, seeing the Lady Cannoneer's score a season high 80 points. But in the end it wouldn't be enough to outlast Fulton-Montgomery who took away an 83-80 victory after several free throws in the last minute. It was a back and forth contest for most of the game seeing the Lady Raiders take the largest lead of the game by only 7 points. Freshman forward Taylor Piercey contributed her most minutes of the year and score in double figures for the first time in her short college career.
