Women's basketball wins two at Ambassador Classic

The Colby Community College women's basketball team picked up two wins in the annual Colby Ambassador Basketball Classic Nov. 4-5 at the Colby Community Building.

Friday the Lady Trojans rolled to a 72-46 win over the Bethany College JV. Colby had a balanced attack with eleven players contributing offensively, led by 15 points from freshman Journey Jones and ten from freshman Kynndra Rush. Freshman Alexis Beard had a game-high 9 rebounds.

Saturday's 77-66 win over the Tabor JV saw a different pair of Lady Trojans step up. Freshman Dezyree Morales led the way with 24 points and eight rebounds, and sophomore Janea Dennis added 12 points and four assists. Sophomore Hanna Herman had nine points, nine rebounds, and six assists, and Kyra Tucker chipped in eight points and four rebounds.

"The ladies played well and did a good job of sharing the ball all weekend," said head coach Antowin Edwards. "We still have a lot of work to do to get ready for league play.  These wins will help build some confidence and cohesiveness amongst this young team.  Hopefully, we take these wins and build on them as we continue to grow as a program."

The Lady Trojans have a home non-conference game Wednesday night against the Kansas Wesleyan JV at 6 p.m. Jayhawk Conference play opens Saturday as they host Barton County, also a 6 p.m. start.
