She would put up seven in the first quar- ter and Jackson scored five points from the paint to lead the Wildcats. Pike Central's only score in the first quar- ter was a free-throw by Kahle Young that made it 2-1. The first quarter ended 17- 1. Finally, a Kya Leighty layup near the four-minute mark of the second quarter got Pike Central back on the board. In the second quarter, Pike Cen- tral regained their composure and held Mt. Vernon to only five points, but Pike Central could only muster three points in the quarter. A fter trailing 21-1, Pike Cen- tral played even with Mt. Ver- non over the next 22 minutes. Kya Leighty had 13 points for the Chargers, who were on a two-game win streak. Pike Central's offense usu- ally runs through Mallory Hunt, their leading scorer on the inside. But Mt. Vernon's Jackson and Grace Schroed- er, at 5'10", had the size to neu- tralize Hunt in the middle. Ev- ery time she touched the ball, both Jackson and Schroeder double teamed her. Pike Cen- tral's outside shooting was cold. They hit no three-point- ers in the game, which al- lowed Mt. Vernon to pack the paint on defense. Mt. Vernon is one of the bet- ter teams in southern Indiana. The win improved their re- cord to 5 -0. So far, they have beaten all their opponents, Tell City, Bosse, North Posey and South Spencer by at least 20 points. Pike Central's game against South Spencer, scheduled for December 7, was cancelled due to their coach's wife dy- ing.
