OAKWOOD — The Lady Warriors opened the 2025 Oakwood Tournament with a dominant performance against Covington, rolling from the opening tip to a 54-19 win.

The CW offense fired on all cylinders in the opening frame, hitting for 15 points while the defense stifled Covington, holding them to just two points. While Covington picked up their offensive effort in the second quarter, the Lady Warriors nearly doubled their output again, taking a commanding 30-10 lead into intermission.

When play resumed in the second half, the Purple and Gold continued to add to their total at a steady clip, scoring 12 points in both the third and fourth quarters. Covington managed just nine points in the entire second half, sealing the 54-19 final.

The dynamic duo of Lucy Moore and Chloe Taylor each recorded a double-double. Moore scored a game-high 17 points and pulled down 10 boards. Taylor knocked down 12 points and hauled in 16 rebounds—outrebounding the entire Covington team, which totaled 14. Both players added a blocked shot to their stat line.

Kayla Clark hit for six points while posting five rebounds and three assists. Julia Eckerty contributed five points, six assists, two steals, and one rebound.

Gylly Gilbert added four points, two rebounds, two assists, and a block. Madison Gray finished with five rebounds, one steal, and one assist, while Gracie Taylor had two rebounds and a steal. Emmy Redman rounded out the scoring with two points.
