The Lady Cats will have an opportunity to repeat as District 12 Champions after defeating the Trinity Lady Raiders 66-49 in the first round of the district tournament on Monday night, hosted at Butler County High School. 

After a bit of a sluggish start, the Lady Cats found their pace late in the first quarter and jumped out to a 20-9 lead. Trinity concentrated on clogging the inside and keeping Edmonson's top scorer Cariann Williams at bay, as they held her to only 4 first half points. Shelby Sowders and Addison Spainhoward found early success from outside shooting and mid range jumpers in the first half, however, Trinity found some momentum and was able to draw a foul on a final three-point attempt with two seconds left in the half and made all three free throws. Edmonson County led 32-26 at halftime. 

Those three would set the tone for the rest of the game, as they powered through the physical play from the Lady Raiders in the second half. Williams finished with 21 points and 23 rebounds, Sowders also had 21 points while adding 8 rebounds, as Spainhoward added 16 points and 6 rebounds.

Both Hayley Sanders and Haley Hill added 4 points each. 

Edmonson County crushed Trinity on the boards 47-25 and shot 24-63 from the field for 38%. 

The Lady Cats are now 20-7 on the year, ending Trinity's season at 15-15. 

The Lady Cats will take on Butler County, (12-14) who upset Grayson County (20-8) in the first round, on Thursday night at 7PM for the championship.
