Senior guard Chelsea Graves scored 21 points and sophomore guard Emily Daniels added 16 to lead the way for Cumberland Gap.
“I’m very pleased with the way their playing as a team, obviously,” said coach Tracy Brooks. “There’s still things we need to work on like rebounding and not turning the ball over. Chelsea and Emily shot the ball extremely well and everybody came out focused in ou first home game.”
This one was over early as Graves scored seven first quarter points, Daniels and Jonna Adkins added six each and MacKenzie McFall five as the Lady Panther jumped out to 24-7 lead and never looked back.
It was 44-17 by halftime and CGHS continued to pull away.
Chelsea Hurst, starting inside for senior forward Courtney Crowder, scored all seven of her points in the second half. Nasya Beeler scored five off the bench while Brook Fuson and Scarlett Sweet added four each as the Lady Panthers went on to the 39-point win.
“I love games like this where everybody gets to play,” Brooks added.
The Lady Panthers defeated Coalfield 58-55 Tuesday.
They’ll return to action Monday in the Gibbs Thanksgiving Tournament.
The Cumberland Gap boys were originally scheduled to host Clinch Friday, but will instead have their home opener tonight.
