On Monday, Dec. 12, Landrum’s Lady Cardinals extended their season record to 7-0, by thumping visiting West Oak, 68-28. Even so, head coach Deon Brice noted that the Cardinals are working hard to perfect many aspects of their game.

Coming from behind, the Cardinals slowed their offense, and overtook the visiting Warriors late in the third quarter, eventually winning, 69-59. Early in the game, West Oak’s players hit several three-pointers, and also scored well from underneath the hoop, taking a 31-29 halftime lead. However, the Cardinals outscored their guests, 23-15, in the third quarter, and by 17-13 in the final period to ice the game. In this early-game action, Landrum’s Manny Gonzalez soars above West-Oak players at the Cardinal net.
