NORTHCUTT
Eastside took full advantage of its home court Thursday night as the Bulldogs rolled past the Dibrell Wildcats 56-26 in seventh- and eighth-grade basketball action, behind a 20-point effort from Caleb Northcutt.

Eastside?s aggressive defense gave up just one basket in the opening period, coming from Adrian Pena. Northcutt was the go to man for Eastside as he hit for 10 of the Bulldogs 16 points in the period.

Dibrell?s offensive production didn?t improve much in the second period. Lady Curtis and Pena scored one basket each as Curtis hit the back end of two from the charity strip. Adam Hollandsworth scored in the paint for the Bulldogs with four points. Brody Powers and Gavin Lewis added one basket each and Northcutt continued to stay hot as he added four points to give Eastside a 28-7 lead at the break.

Dibrell came out in the second half and got its offense going, with Chris Callender who hit for six points. Pena added four and Curtis hit for one basket for a total of 12 points. But Eastside?s offense continued to roll with Northcutt striking for eight points helping to maintain the Bulldogs lead by 21 points heading into the final period.

Gage Myers kept the Bulldogs going in the fourth period with seven points including a 3-pointer. Luke Hillis added a 3 as Eastside put 16 points on the board. Dibrell tried to fight its way back with Curtis, Callander and Tim Conely scoring, but it wasn?t enough as the Bulldogs picked up the 30 point victory.

For the Bulldogs, Northcutt had 20, Myers hit for nine, Hollandsworth and Lewis had six points each. Hillis hit for five, Powers had four and Jason Carlson added two points.

Pena and Callander led the Wildcats with eight points apiece. Curtis hit for six and Conely added two points.
