Five wins in 10 days push West Union Lady Dragons over .500

“Coaches of any sport tale about their teams peaking at the right time and the perfect example right here in the county is Coach Jacob Stout and his West Union Lady Dragons.” Sitting with a record of 6-10 after a loss to Lynchburg on February 2, the Lady Dragons have gone on a tear, racking up five wins in a 10-day span to move their season record up over the .500 mark.

The winning streak began on February 5 in a conference home game with Peebles in which the Lady Dragons came out on top 48-42, led by 16 points from junior guard Annabelle McIntosh and 14 rebounds from junior Jocelyn Hall. The Peebles victory snapped a brief skid and provided the first of five consecutive wins that changed West Union’s trajectory midway through February.

On Saturday, February 7, the Lady Dragons played host to the East Clinton Lady Astros in non-conference action and had no trouble disposing of their visitors by a final count of 61-29. Again, it was McIntosh leading the way with 18 points with Violet Randolph and Maddie Stout each hauling in 7 rebounds as West Union posted a dominant home performance.

The fourth win in the streak came in a non-conference trip to Eastern Pike where the Lady Dragons pulled off yet another double digit win, topping the Lady Eagles by a 59-44 score. Eastern Pike was identified in coverage as the fourth victory in the run; the article excerpt does not include individual stat lines from that game.

A February 13 conference win over Whiteoak stretched the winning streak to five. At Whiteoak, it was another double digit for the red-hot lady Dragons, 57-43. Three girls in double figures led the way - McIntosh with 17, Hall with 13 and Randolph with 12. It was a double-double effort from Hall as she also pulled down 11 rebounds. Again, the West Union offense produced nine three-pointers, four of those coming from Randolph and three from McIntosh.

Taken together, the five-game burst covers wins over Peebles (Feb. 5), East Clinton (Feb. 7), an unnamed victory within the sequence, Eastern Pike (a 59-44 road win identified as the fourth), and Whiteoak (Feb. 13). Beginning from a 6-10 mark after the Feb. 2 Lynchburg loss, adding five straight victories moves the Dragons above .500; arithmetically that sequence results in an 11-10 record.

Coach Jacob Stout’s team will carry momentum from McIntosh’s scoring performances and Jocelyn Hall’s rebounding as West Union prepares to close the regular season. Additional box scores and the missing third-game details will be needed to complete the full statistical picture of the five-game run.
