Allyssa Kerr is fouled by Emalei Schaberl while attempting a layup in the second half of Monday’s matchup between Tidioute Charter and WCCS at Tidioute. Kerr led all scorers with nine points, helping the Lady Lions to their first win of the season.
The Bulldogs (0-5) were led by Tanya Krouse and Casey Byers, who scored six points each.

"This was the best game we've played since the opener," Nuttall said. "We did a lot of things better tonight."
Both teams will face Erie Bethel in their next matchup, with WCCS hosting them Tuesday night and TCCS travelling to Erie on Thursday.
