Kats stole this one …
It was an even game in a lot of ways according to the reported stats. Kennedale had 31 rebounds to 32 by the Elks; assists 9 to 8; blocks 2 to 1; and, free throws percentage 67% to 67%. However, two stats told a different story – total point points scored and steals. The overall score has already been mentioned but it was the steals that helped destroy the Lady Elks game. Kennedale recorded 19 steals to just 7 by Burleson.
