In what has been their most exciting game this season, the Lady Colonels scored at the buzzer to defeat the Northside Vikings 46-45. Down by 1 point with 13 seconds left, Fleming played "sweat D" for 5 seconds forcing Northside to turn the ball over. After a time out to set up a final shot, Fleming inbounded the ball with 8 seconds remaining in the game. I don't know if it was the play Coach Bulls called for, but with four seconds left, center Kim Foster ended up with the ball at the top of the key. She squared up with the basket; then, passed to senior forward Janee Jennings standing alone at the right elbow of the basket. Janee made the jumper and according to one of the JV players "History was made!"
Shayla Vance came off the bench to lead the offense with 15 points and 6 rebounds. Ashley Simmons had 12 points and 7 points worth of assists to go with her 4 steals. Janee Jennings' game winning basket was two of her 10 points, 3 rebounds and 2 steals. In a rare starter position, Jazmine Carter had 5 points, 4 rebounds, 2 steals and an assist. Kim Foster's 4 points, 6 rebounds and 1 blocked shot were almost overshadowed by her 1 assist for the game winning basket. Brandi Smith led the team with 10 rebounds and added 3 steals, an assist and a block.
