Matthews played a pivotal role in the Lady Choctaw’s dramatic 65-63 victory over conference foe Valdosta State on Saturday. The freshman guard scored 13 of MC’s 17 points off of the bench in the ballgame, a career-high for the Bogue Chitto native. Matthews went 1-2 from beyond the arc, while also accounting for an assist and a steal in the game.
