The Charlestown Lady Pirates traveled to Madison on Saturday to open the 2017-18 basketball season and they brought home a victory. The Lady Pirates were led in scoring by Samantha Matthews who finished with 14 points and 4 rebounds.  Other scorers for the Lady Pirates included Bri Harvey with 9, Erin Kimbrell with 7, Karston Watson with 5, and Gabi Gagnon with 4.

 

The Lady Pirates will be back in action Saturday evening when they host 2017 state runner-up North Harrison,  a team led by 6-1 forward Lilly Hatton who comes into this season 2nd in the state as last year’s single season shot blocker. Hopefully the power play of Samantha Matthews who averaged 15.9 ppg and Bri Harvey who averaged 13.9 ppg last season, along with a solid support cast will be enough to overcome Powerhouse North Harrison.
