Rachel Van Blaricom finally returned to the court – and just like that, Jefferson High’s girls hoopsters righted their season, notching wins last week at Powell County and Broadwater.
Van Blaricom, who missed two weeks of play after spraining an ankle in practice, was able to ease back into play just in time for Thursday’s “Pack the House Night” – and the Lady Panthers’ reunion with their leading scorer in front of a raucous home crowd was a happy one.
In the match-up against Powell County, Emma Grange started the scoring 30 seconds in. Grace Jones added a two, Laurynn Armstrong hit another, and Ashton Oxarart nailed a three to put the Panthers up 9-0 at the end of one.
