The Varsity girls had an unexpected day-off, as weather canceled the Litchfield contest. The Jackson Christian game also had some challenges, as the March for Life and a robotics event left both St. Philip teams short a few players. The decision was made to have our JV and Varsity girls play together against Jackson Christian’s Varsity. It was a quick, high-scoring, and exciting game. The girls’ earned a close and very intense win with a score of 54-49. The top players of the game were Baily Fancher, with 16 points, and Abbie Lahr, with 11 points, 12 rebounds, and five assists.

Below are the statistics for the Jackson Christian game only.
