The St. Catharine College women had a big non-conference win last Monday over Bethel University, who came to Lourdes Hall as the No. 16 team in the latest NAIA poll. But following that big victory, Lena Bramblett’s team suffered a tough setback to Mid-South Conference for Bluefield College.

The 1-1 week left the Patriots with an overall record of 18-8 and a conference mark of 10-7. That puts the Patriots alone in fifth place in the conference as the season winds down with three games remaining, all on the road.

It is not a game film that St. Catharine College coach J.T. Burton will want to show future teams about playing good basketball. But after giving up a 22-point second-half lead and committing 29 turnovers, the Patriots survived to beat visiting Bluefield College 89-86 in overtime in Mid-South Conference action Thursday.

Members of the 2004-05 Washington County girls' basketball team will be recognized at halftime of the Commanderettes' senior night game on Friday night against Burgin.

The '04-05 Comm-anderettes won 18 games on their way to the 5th Region championship and a berth in the Houchens Industries/KHSAA girls' sweet sixteen basketball tournament.

After some early-season losses, Patriots’ Head Coach Lena Bramblett said that she was more concerned with how her team would be playing in February.  And “how” her team is playing has to be just what the St. Catharine mentor was hoping for as her team has won three of its last four games, including two home Mid-South Conference victories last week.
