An Enterprise Staff Report

Fresh off of a victory over Lynn Camp, the Harlan Lady Dragons upset another top 13th Region Class A team on Friday, pulling away in the second half for a 65-54 victory over visiting Barbourville.

Jourdan Ledford had five points in the first quarter as Harlan took a 12-11 lead. The junior added six more in the second quarter to keep the Lady Dragons within two at the half. Ledford finished with a team-high 18 points.

Eighth-grade guard Jordan Brock had a pair of 3-pointers in the third quarter as Harlan turned a two-point halftime deficit into a 42-37 lead.

Torri Mitchell took over from that point. The sophomore forward had 10 of her 17 points in the final period as the Lady Dragons put the game away.

Harlan (8-10) will travel to Middlesboro for a 52nd District contest today, while Barbourville (13-6) will host Williamsburg.

Barbourville had little trouble getting to the free throw line, but wasn’t as successful after they arrived at the charity stripe, hitting just 24-of-41 attempts.
