AOL DOWNS HAYNES IN OT:

Kacie Fountain scored 15 points and Reshea Garrison had 13 as Academy of Our Lady defeated Haynes Academy, 39-36, in overtime Tuesday at the AOL gym.

Fountain converted two free throws with 15 seconds remaining in regulation to tie the game at 35. The Penguins outscored the Yellow Jackets 4-1 in overtime to secure the victory.

Chloe d"Aquin led the Jackets (0-1) with 12 points and five rebounds. Maddison Wells, who fouled out with 6:40 remaining in the game, finished with seven points, six rebounds and three blocks.

CHAPELLE GETS BY ST. JAMES:

Emani White missed last year's state semifinal game for Chapelle with a broken tibia which turned into a lopsided loss to St. Thomas More. White is back with a vengeance this season.

In a battle of unbeatens, the Chipmunks moved to 5-0 on the season with a hard-fought 40-37 victory over St. James Tuesday.

White led the way with 22 points while Gaby Duvernay added six points for first-year coach Kiely Schork.

The Chipmunks won the Hancock Tournament in Mississippi to start the season and won at Covington 50-36 previously.

The Lady Wildcats fell to 3-1 with the defeat.

Chapelle and St. James will both play in the St. Michael Tournament in Baton Rouge Wednesday through Sunday.
