SOUTH POINT — It was only the third game of the season but the Chesapeake Lady Panthers acted like it was senior night.
Chesapeake seniors Natalee Hall and Brooke Webb sparked a strong second half as the Lady Panthers beat the South Point Lady Pointers 49-38 in an Ohio Valley Conference on Wednesday.
Natalee Hall scored a game-high 23 points and grabbed 12 rebounds. Brooke Webb had seven points, 13 rebounds and 10 blocked shots.
Chesapeake (2-1, 1-0) trailed by one point at the half before outscoring South Point 33-21 in the second half.
“We were a little bit more aggressive in the half-court. We took the ball to the basket and got to the foul line. It was a big win on the road and a big night for our seniors,” said Chesapeake coach Chris Ball.
Senior Natalee Hall scored a game-high 23 points and grabbed 12 rebounds. Senior Brooke Webb had seven points, 13 rebounds and 10 blocked shots.
“Brooke is an exceptional athlete and a great young lady as well,” said Ball. “Natalee took control in the second half and made things go for us. When she does that, the other girls tend to follow the lead.”
