Warriorettes take advantage of takeaways
|
Nine turnovers by the Lady Pioneers in the first half, and nine more in the second half, gave the Lady Warriors all the advantage they would need as White County defeated Warren County 42-32 in the Charlie Dalton gym.
Baskets by Jasmine Wood and Lea Montgomery gave Warren County an early lead in the opening minutes of the first period. But back-to-back turnovers by the Lady Pioneers resulted in back-to-back baskets by White County?s Whitney Randolph and Aubrey Sims. Lauren Lytle nailed a bucket from just outside the paint and Chancerie Martin hit 2-of-2 from the charity stripe with 4:25 left in the period, which would be all the offense Warren County would post in the quarter. Baskets in the paint from Jesska Wilson and Tasha Delaney opened up the perimeter for Sarah Bumbalough, who nailed two 3-pointers to end the period as White County held a 14-8 lead.
Turnovers once again hurt the Lady Pioneers in the second period. Warren County?s offense had just four points in the period, while the Lady Warriors hit for seven including another 3-pointer by Delaney as White County expanded its lead to 21-12 by the end of the half.
Warren County attacked the basket in the third period, resulting in eight points. Montgomery hit a 3-pointer to open the period. Jasmine Wood worked the paint for a bucket at the 2:17 mark and Lytle hit a three at the 1:37 mark. On offense White County pounded the ball down low hitting for nine points and held onto a 30-22 lead by the end of the period.
In the final period better ball movement and blocking out on the offensive glass helped the Lady Pioneers to 10 points. Kassidy Kominos scored six points, including a 3-pointer at the 4:30 mark, for Warren County. But White County?s Delaney took control of the game as she hit for six of the Lady Warriors 12 points in the period to secure the victory.
Kominos led Warren County with 10 points on the night. Montgomery hit for seven, Lytle and Wood added six points each and Martin had three points.
For White County, Delaney led with 12 points. Sims hit for eight, Bumbalough and Wilson had six points apiece. Whitney Randolph and MaCee Henry had four points each and Shanna McGee added two points.
