The undisputed FAC girls basketball championship will rest in Jackson for the 2021-22 season after the Lady Ironmen convincingly beat runner-up Chillicothe 64-37. It’s the first league basketball title for Jackson girls basketball since 2014.
The first meeting with Chillicothe was a Jackson victory on a last second shot.
This match-up was completely different. Jackson hand the hot-hand offensively early in the contest and handled whatever defense the Lady Cavs tried to throw at them.
Chillicothe had two strikes against them before the game started, playing without regulars Paige Huggins and Emma Barnes due to injuries.
Jackson led at the end of every stop, 21-13, 35-17, 53-27 and the final of 64-37.
The Lady Ironmen have only two seniors on the team and start four sophomores. Four of the seven players in the scoring column were all sophomores.
Sophomores T.J. Carpenter and Kenzie Davis led the way with each scoring 19 points. Senior Katelyn Webb added 9 and sophomore Sydney Hughes 8, Mattie Walburn 7 and Jalynn Louderback with 2.
Chillicothe was led by junior Jacey Harding with 16 points. Avery Erslan scored 10, Caroline Corcoran 7, and 4 points from Emma Fromm.
Jackson improves to (8-2/14-6) while Chillicothe drops to (6-4/8-9).
