G1: Jennings County 60, Washington 54, F
Aniston Kent is no stranger to big moments. As a freshman in last year’s sectional semifinal, Kent made a last-second shot to beat Batesville by one point.
So, Saturday’s heroic performance probably should not come as a surprise. Kent, a 5-4 sophomore guard, scored 10 points in the fourth quarter to spark Eighth-ranked Jennings County to a 60-54 win over Washington in the first game of the Class 3A semistate.
“You look at moments like that,” Jennings County coach Kristi Sigler said, “and she’s not afraid of them.”
Kent, who came into the semistate averaging 4.2 points per game, missed about three weeks with a leg injury. “She was probably even more engaged than she was before,” Sigler said.
Mollie Ernstes, a 6-foot senior and Kansas recruit, finished with a team-high 21 points to lead Jennings County (21-6) into the semistate championship on Saturday night. Kent finished with 13, including a pair of massive 3-pointers midway through the fourth quarter to push Jennings County’s lead from one point to seven.
“We talked all week about how when you get to this point in the season, it’s about toughness,” Sigler said.
Jennings County, who has never won a semistate in girls basketball and had not won even a sectional in 21 years, will have a big crowd at Southport on Saturday night. Sixth-ranked Washington finished 22-5.
“It’s amazing to have that support behind you,” Sigler said. “When (Kent) hit the two threes, (Washington) called timeout right after that and you could hear the gym and hear the momentum. They like to win.”
