Roberts was a player expected to do big things in her junior season at Lexington Christian and 6 games into the season, it’s safe to say she has done just that. In week 2, the Lady Eagles had two road games in the 11th Region. In those games, Roberts averaged 17.5 PPG and 6 RPG. She also shot 41% from 3. Through her team’s 1st 6 games, she’s averaging 12.2 PPG and 4.7 RPG while shooting over 33% from 3 and 88.9% from the free throw line. Claire Roberts is making big waves in the 11th Region and will be drawing attention all throughout the state as the season goes on!
