BEECHER — Coal City outscored Shepard 14-0 during the third quarter on its way to a 42-18 victory Tuesday that clinched its first-ever championship at the Ladycat Fall Classic.

"This was a good win for this team," Coal City coach Brad Schmitt said. "We played well tonight defensively and were able to go on some runs offensively. Definitely a team win, but we had a number of people play well throughout this game, and I hope that will help their confidence as the year goes on."

Nicole Borgetti and Donjeta Shabani shared the Coal City (4-1) lead in points with 12, and Emily Halliday added 11 to go with 10 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals.
