The Lady Rams had a table set up with a cards and pens for fans to write cards to send to our Veterans.
A 13-2 run capped by an
Evie Whorley swish from downtown in the early goings was all TXWES needed, but the Lady Rams did a lot more in a game in which they never trailed.
Perhaps the most telling stat came with 8 seconds remaining in the game, when the Lady Rams took a 42-point lead – the largest of the night – with no starters on the court. All 13 active players scored for the Lady Rams, outscoring the HT bench 38-13.
Another telling stat was the 50-percent shooting night from the field for TXWES, along with the +38 in points in the paint.
Whorley led all players with 17 points, a season high, on 6 of 9 shooting – while also tacking on seven assists and six rebounds in the blowout.
