Katy Lujan #20 had some extraordinary defense this game and helping her out was #32 Taylor Bilbrey. Leading scorer was none other than #12 Ashlyn Lara with 9 points, followed by Layken Farrar with 8 points.

After the long holiday break, the team traveled to Sudan on Monday night, January 13. Due to some illness, only five players were healthy, but that did not stop the team from competing with all they had. Coach Kody Robinson commented, “The girls played with all they had physically and that is all I asked of them.” The team came up short just five points with Sudan edging them 30-25. Karlee Riley & Ashlyn Lara both scored 5 points. Taylor Bilbrey lead the team with 8 points, followed by Autum Olivas with 7 in a balanced scoring effort.

This young team of Roughetts are on the way to success this season; we hope that they continue growing and keep having grit through this season. We can’t wait to see what these Roughetts have in store for us. They play at home next Monday, January 19th vs. Seagraves. GO ROUGHETTES!!!!!!!!!!
