Lady Cards roll to fifth straight win

Taylor County’s Lady Cardinals reeled off their fifth win in the first eight days of the high school hoop season by cruising past Campbellsville 73-24 on Tuesday night in Paul J. Coop Gymnasium.
The Lady Cardinals (5-0), who won three games in Brandenburg over the weekend, trailed only 2-0 on Brittany Vaught’s basket 15 seconds into the contest.
However, Hope Wigginton had nine of her game-high 21 points and Alanna Claywell connected on four of her 12 points off the bench and the rout was on.
Claywell added a pair of second-quarter three-pointers, fellow senior Elizabeth Thomas four straight third-quarter hoops and eighth-grader Haley Wright nine second-half points for coach Jenny Jessie’s Lady Cards.
Vaught, Heather Watson and Tiffany Slone had eight points apiece to account for Campbellsville’s total.
The Lady Eagles host Bardstown on Saturday while Taylor County entertains Adair County in a girl/boy doubleheader beginning at 6:30 Friday.
