Romeoville Christian Girls Win and Boys Come Up Short

Girls Basketball

The Lady Kingsmen of Romeoville Christian held off the Eagles of Kankakee Trinity this Tuesday to improve to 9-0 on the season. An excellent first half on both ends of the court helped Romeoville jump up to a 29-13 lead going into half time, but foul trouble would play a key role in the second half as 3 starters for RCA were sidelined for extended periods. Although the Eagles rallied and brought the lead into single digits the Kingsmen weathered the storm for the win: 48-30. Lauren Johnson led all scorers with 16 points followed by 13 from Jessie Perez who also added 7 steals. Rebounding was a key in this game due to the size advantage the Eagles had but junior forwards Erica Ware and Casey Perez held their own on the glass pulling down 11 and 10 rebounds, respectively. RCA will travel to Griffith, IN for a rematch against Calumet Christian School this Thursday.
