Lady Knights basketball has dominated the court, winning four out of the last six games they have played.

The team has worked hard to get in second place in conference, just behind DeKalb.

Junior Ashley Prost is one of the key players on the team, averaging 11 points and five rebounds per game. Other key players include juniors Emma Bradford, Allyson O’Herron and Alli Liss and senior Kelly Evers.

Assistant Coach Tom Dillivan said that the highlight of the season thus far was winning a big game at Yorkville on Jan. 6.

The team then tied for second in conference, beating Rochelle at their home gym for the first time in six years on Jan. 10.

“We lost three games at the buzzer this season on last shots. We overcome those obstacles during the season by keeping things in perspective and continuing to move forward,” Dilivian said..

Regionals started on  Feb. 13 with Yorkville, Sandwich, IMSA and Rosary as competition for Kaneland. The Lady Knights are the number one seed, so the team has a bye for the first game.

“We try not to compare past  teams with current teams because there are too many variables. But the difference that is noticeable is this year’s group is they’re very close on the court,” Head Coach Ernie Colombe said. “While winning is important to the girls, teamwork is another thing that has gotten them this far into the season.”

The Lady Knights have won two straight at home, defeating Yorkville Foxes on Feb. 3 and defeating the Sycamore Spartans 52-37 in back-to-back home games.
