Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Bluestem). They blew past the Caldwell Bluejays 59-19 on Tuesday. Given the Lions' advantage in MaxPreps' Kansas basketball rankings (they are ranked 131st, while the Bluejays are ranked 314th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Despite the loss, Caldwell still got an impressive performance from Ella Risley, who posted 11 points along with five boards and four steals. Risley has been hot recently, having posted two or more steals the last three times she's played. Kennedy Lowery also deserves some recognition as she posted her first block of the season.
