One step closer to perfection

Special to the News-Sun

LAKE WALES - Undefeated through a remarkable regular season, the Lady Eagles of Walker Memorial are looking to make it a clean sweep through the District 7-2A tournament at the Vanguard School in Lake Wales.

The Eagles cruised through the season, averaging nearly 53 points per game and giving up an average of just 24 per contest.

Another lopsided victory was seen Tuesday with a 60-12 win over Oasis Christian School of Winter Haven.

Walker jumped out to a quick lead and never looked back, with a tough defense creating turnovers and turning them into fast-break opportunities.

The Lady Eagles lead 21-2 after one, 35-6 at the half and pitched a third-quarter shutout, going 13-0 for a 48-6 lead heading into the final eight minutes.

Lisette Marasigan lead 10 players in the scoring column with 11 points, with Kristelle Lagabon adding 10 and Rachel Reid eight.

Reid also added 15 rebounds, five assists and three blocked shots to her crowded stat sheet.

More gaudy stats were seen as Toni Garcia had 10 rebounds, Lagabon had 10 steals and six assists and Breauna Washington pulled down nine rebounds.

Now 18-0, Walker Memorial looks to claim the district tournament championship Saturday night against All Saints Academy of Winter Haven - a team they topped by 11 and 10 points during the regular season.

Tip-off is at 7 p.m. at Vanguard.
