CHURUBUSCO — The Lady Eagles girls basketball team provided Adams Central its first win of the season Tuesday, losing to the visiting Lady Jets, 44-34.
Two of Adams Central three leading scorers, Olivia Macklin and Jenae Blackburn, hit early jumpers to give the Lady Jets a 5-0 lead to start the game.
According to Churubusco Head Coach Jamie Perlich, the team’s lack of readiness was apparent from tip-off.
“We didn’t come out focused. We had a good practice last night and we didn’t carry that over. We started out flat,” Perlich said.
