We beat the brakes off Martin @ Martin, says it all compared to where we were a few short years ago. We have a flipping All Star head coach in place. It's like a Ja Morant all over again except a local high school/college girl player turned coach future mega star. And we are watching it live. Far out!

Oh yeah, Katelyn is pretty freaking good too, ha!!

Katelyn Young drops 43 Points and 10 Rebounds on Drake, but it wasn't enough.


I would imagine she is starting to inch her way into some All-American discussions.

Congratulations Katelyn!

I believe the 43 points is a new MVC record for a single game.  Really don't know how to check it oh

I believe they said her 43 ranks 3rd all time at Murray State and 5th all time in the Missouri Valley Conference

• This is from goracers.com

• Katelyn Young set a season-high for the Racers for points in the first half Sunday with 28. The junior ended the first 20 minutes of the game by scoring 28 of her team's 32 points.
    
• Young finished with a career-high 43 points, which is the third most points scored by a Racer in program history and most scored by a Valley player since 2017. Ashley N. Hayes holds the MSU record for points in a game with 46, while Mariah Robinson and Joi Scott follow at 44 and 43, respectively.
    
• The 19 field goals scored by Young Sunday tied the program record that was set by Joi Scott in 2006. She is now just one of five players in MVC history to score 19 or more field goals in a game, joining Drake's Lorri Baumann and Wanda Ford, Missouri State's Jackie Stiles and Indiana State's Melanie Boeglin.
