Class 3A – District 4 – Cascia Hall/Perry:

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I had the opportunity to watch the Cascia Hall Lady Commandos take on the Perry Lady Maroons in the Class 3A - District 4 game and HEART is what both teams played with! Cascia Hall was led by seniors, Landrey Hill and Claire Woodard. Perry was led by senior [player_tooltip player_id='331834' first='Maebry' last='Shields'] and standout sophomore [player_tooltip player_id='802024' first='Makenna' last='Justus']. Perry came out victorious but Cascia Hall went on a massive run in the 3rd quarter to close the gap to 1 point (Woodard (8) and Hill (6) scored all 14 points in the 3rd quarter) ~~~ FINAL SCORE: 45 to 32</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Landrey Hill 2023 - Cascia Hall: Landrey is the heart and soul of the Lady Commandos basketball team - there was not a single possession on either end of the court that she was not involved in. She does a good job of getting to the rim and getting to the line. She was 6/6 from the line against Perry. -- she brings the ball up the floor - she positions herself inside - she rebounds and she hustles after the ball. Defensively, Hill is good when playing on ball but she is a force when defending inside. Landrey finished the game with 14 points and a handful of rebounds.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Claire Woodard 2023 - Cascia Hall: Claire provided a much needed scoring spark for the Lady Commandos in the 3rd quarter. She scored 8 of her 10 points in the 3rd -- Woodard is strong when attacking the basket and she does a good job of getting inside for rebounds even though she is one of the smaller players on the court. She is aggressive, defensively and plays with alot of grit --</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='331834' first='Maebry' last='Shields'] 2023 - Perry: Maebry was determined to win from the start and this was evident in the way she played, every moment she was on the court. She handled the ball with poise and confidence and had an all around solid performance, offensively. Shields attacked the basket and finished at the rim, shot well from mid-range and got to the line on numerous occasions. Defensively, she is committed and forced many turnovers. Maebry showed leadership not only in the way she played but also with the energy that she brought to her team! Shields finished the game with 17 points.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='802024' first='Makenna' last='Justus'] 2025 - Perry: Justus played every minute with a will to win. She was scoring from just about everywhere on the floor - coast to coast lay-up's, jumpers and 2 very nice baskets from deep -- Makenna widened the gap by scoring 9 of her 14 points in the 4th quarter. -- not only can she score, but she can facilitate the offense and out rebound almost everyone else on the court. Defensively, she is quick and made a number of stops by forcing the ball handler to lose control and make unwanted passes. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
