A freshman star on the 2018-19 DCHS Lady Tiger Basketball team was awarded Friday for setting a new record on the court.

Roy Nelson Pugh of Liberty State Bank presented a plaque to Kadee Ferrell for scoring 494 points and grabbing 247 rebounds breaking a single season scoring record previously held by Maggie Knowles.

“Kadee had a great freshman year and broke Maggie Knowles’ record. Maggie went on to play at Austin Peay.  Kadee was a big reason for our success this past year. I couldn’t be happier for her success. She is one of those kids who puts in the work and time and you like to see them be successful. She has been working hard in the off season to improve her game and we all hope she can have an even better year next year as a sophomore,” said Lady Tiger Coach Danny Fish.

“As me coming in as a freshman, I didn’t know what to expect but it’s been an honor to achieve these things. It’s been really fun,” said Kadee.

“At Liberty State Bank we are very proud to be involved in sports and to honor this young lady. She has accomplished a lot as a freshmen and we are looking forward to a lot from her next year. Congratulations Kadee,” said Roy Nelson Pugh of Liberty State Bank.

The DCHS Lady Tigers made it to the state tournament for the first time as a program since 1965  and lost 34 to 31 to the Marshall County Tigerettes in the quarterfinals at MTSU in March

The Lady Tigers season ended with a record of 23-12.
