Edmonson County kicked things off with a bang at the Rafferty's/Double Dog's Caveland Classic yesterday as the Lady Cats pounced on the Lady Panthers of Russellville in a huge 63-19 win at ECHS.

After the Lady Cats were able to establish a 19-2 lead after the first quarter,  the whole team got involved in the lop-sided win, as 14 different players ended up on the stat sheet in one form or another.

Edmonson County stretched their lead to 39-10 at halftime which allowed Coach Kevin Jackson to rest his starters for a portion of the second half. The Lady Cats led 48-14 after three quarters and the younger reserve Lady Cats held their own, including sophomore Mikayla Dishon, who nailed a three-pointer from the corner at the final buzzer.
