New Kent’s Lady Trojans used a huge game-opening run to continue their winning streak.

The Lady Trojans upended the visiting York Lady Falcons 49-18 in the Dec. 15 Bay Rivers District matchup.

New Kent started the game on a 13-1 run. The duo of Anna Hetzel and Vyktorya Otey combined for 16 points in the first quarter, allowing the hosts to take the lead.

The story of the game was defense of the Lady Trojans. In the first quarter, the hosts buckled down on York, only allowing five points. That defense got even stiffer in the second quarter, as New Kent only surrendered three points as they took a 41-8 lead into the halftime intermission.

In the second half, New Kent didn’t attack as much offensively, but continued to utilize a stern defense to keep York in check. Every member on the Lady Trojans team contributed defensively, only surrendering 10 points in the second half.

New Kent (4-0) received a game high 18 points from Otey, with Hetzel finishing right behind with 17. The quartet of Delaney Montgomery, Alivia Snow, Brooklyn Fleischman, and Aubrey Loucks all tossed in three, and Amiyah Armstead chipped in with two.
