The NLC Storm celebrated Senior Night in style and finished the regular season with a winning record (11-10) with a 24-point victory over the Lady Devils of Masonic Home in the last home game of the season. The Storm started slow, falling behind by 8 points early. They got things going in the second quarter, though, outscoring Masonic 14-4 to take an 8 point halftime lead. The Storm continued to control the game in the second half, gradually pulling away for the comfortable win. The star of the night was Ele'Jah Carter, the team's only senior. Ele'Jah hit jump shots and scored on slashing drives to finish with 12 points, to go along with 8 rebounds and 3 assists in a great all-around game. Shelby, playing after landing at the airport less than an hour before game time, joined Ele'Jah in double figures with 10 points. Leigh led the team in rebounding with 10 boards and Emily had 5 steals. Four players had at least 3 assists, led by Leigh with 4, as the team moved the ball around well.
After the game, Ele'Jah was honored in the senior ceremony at halftime of the boys game. The whole Storm family is so glad that she has been a part of the program this year. Ele'Jah will be missed and we all wish her the best.
