Sophomore Asha Buchanan led the way in the victory with 10 points for Cross Keys as the only player in double figures. Zakiya Davis, a freshman, added nine points, two steals, two assists and one blocked shot.
Cross Keys seniors Taylor Luxford and Tosin Adedayo had not tasted victory in three consecutive winless seasons (2008-10) in which Cross Keys went 0-20, 0-24 and 0-24 that added up to 68 of the 96 losses. The pair scored six points each on the way to their first victory.
