The Copperheads, coming off their biggest program win since joining Class B, made sure 6B rival Florence didn’t catch them in a trap-game.

Sami Johnson went 2-for-2 from deep and finished with nine points, Alyssa Peterson also had nine and senior post Mia Sullivan-Sanders added eight with five rebounds and four assists.
Freshman Makena Patrick led the team with seven rebounds along with seven points and two assists and junior Kora Kelly, playing in her first game of the season, added six points, four assists and two boards off the bench.
Florence never could get going offensively, shooting just 32 percent from the field and 2-of-10 from deep. Kassidy Yeoman knocked down both treys for the Lady Falcons en route to a team-high 14. Trista Williams and Kylie Kovatch added six and five points, respectively.
