Oklahoma Christian Academy 67 , Carney girls 35
AGRA — A number of injuries for Carney combined with a young team led to a loss against Oklahoma Christian Academy in the Agra Tournament.
Four girls are out with injuries, leaving six healthy players. Two are expected to return later this season from a broken thumb and an ankle sprain.
Carney head coach Connie Davis said the injuries effected her team’s performance.
“It was a decent ball game, but our injuries slowed us down,” Davis said.
Kaitlyn Bailey led the Lady Bulldogs with 19 points.
Davis said the team needs to work on turning its offensive opportunities into points.
“We did a lot of things right and a lot of things wrong,” Davis said. “We don’t get our shots to fall like they should. We’ve been working on that.”
Carney will play Davenport on Tuesday night. Carney played Davenport in the second game of the season, but Davis said she expects her team to do better this time.

Senior Kyle Smith lead Pawnee (2-0) with 20 points. Freshman Gideon Gardner added 12 points, while Brandon Coltharp scored 11 points as the Black Bears raced out to a 30-8 advantage after the first quarter.
