"They had a rough game last Thursday and we've been practicing with our defense and we came out, we played aggressive and we did a good job." Said DeKalb Lady Saints basketball head coach Josh Agee. "We kind of blitzed them in the first quarter and it was kind of over at that point. We played a little passive last week but had a couple of good practices and showed up focused and ready to play."

Breaking down the Lady Saints offense, Agee had a game-high 19 points, followed closely by Ferrell who totaled 12. Natalie Snipes added 5 points to the total tally and Ellie Webb and Bri Murphy were good for 2-points each in the contest.

"We weren't boxing out and had too many turnovers and lost a lot of points if you averaged out how many times they took the ball down and scored on rebounds and turnovers. We're going to hit the gym and work on playing a little more physical."Watertown kept up the pressure into the second half with 10 players posting points in the game.DeKalb's scoring was led by Close with 13 points, Ramos had 7, Isaac Knowles was good for 3 points and Stetson Agee hit for 2 points.
