Every high school basketball team shoots free throws during practice. Tuesday was a normal practice session for Southern Coffey County High’s Lady Titans.
“We shoot free throws every night at practice and I always have the players finish by shooting until they miss,” said Jeff True, Lady Titan head coach.
Ashton Isch, a 5-5 junior guard, wasn’t missing Tuesday.
“We were waiting on her so we could continue with practice but she just kept going,” True said.
When Isch finally did miss, she had set an SCCH girls’ record in practice, hitting 111 free throws in a row. True said he thought the old mark was 60.
“We watched her make every one from 34 to 111. The more amazing part of it was that she had to rebound all of her makes. No one was rebounding for her,” True said.
He said he didn’t know how unusual Isch’s feat was but he’d only seen someone make 60 in a row.
“I have heard that coach Ron Slaymaker from Emporia State once made 100 in a row,” True said.
The Lady Titans play Waverly today in the semifinals of the Lyon County League tournament in Emporia.
