Lady Gators Improve with First Win

Lake View’s Lady Wild Gators have been having a bit of a rough season, but its players are still hopeful and working hard to improve.

The Lady Gators got their first win of the season shortly before Christmas when they defeated Green Sea Floyds 35-20 on Thursday, December 15.

Jasmine Ford led Lake View in the win with 22 points. Together with senior Britney Washington, Ford has been one of the key players for the Lady Wild Gators this season. The two have around 100 points combined so far this season.

Ford also led the Lady Wild Gators in a recent loss to Carvers Bay on Tuesday, January 3. The Bears defeated Lake View 52-39 in that encounter. Ford scored 16 points for Lake View against the Bears, with Tranya Ford earning nine, Pam Butler scoring four, and Washington earning three.

Washington led Lake View in scoring in Friday’s game against Latta, earning a team-high six points in the low scoring game. Ford added five points in the loss.

Lake View’s record so far in the regular season is 1-5 with a 1-3 Region 8A record. But the Wild Gators remain positive about as they look towards the remainder of the season. Last night they were schedule to take on Dillon Christian School in a non-league match, followed by a non-league match against Dillon on Wednesday. The Lady Warriors are 2-11 heading into their match, while Dillon recently gave Latta’s Lady Vikings their first win of the season.
