The South Warren Girls basketball team made a strong first impression at the district of the district 14 by stating the tone on Monday at the bowling Green High School in a 56: 41 victory against Greenwood.

South Warren (15-13) built a two-digit lead in the first few minutes and never looked back with a strong defense effort. He rose on Thursday for the district title game at the district and in the 4-tournament region next week in the Eat Diddle Arena.

“Our girls came out and performed the defensive schedule perfectly,” said South Warren Coach Lane Embry. “We really talked to them about how they wanted to get stops and I felt that they were really hungry tonight to get stops. We submitted our defense and played big games when we had to. “

The two teams divided a few highly contested battles during the regular season, but how the tournament at last year's district 14-alfät the Spartaner for a 66:39 victory over Greenwood rolled, conquered South Warren the early swing and never let go .

South Warren jumped in the lead with 11: 1 when Greenwood had difficulty getting going. The Lady Gator scored in the first one putback in the last 33 seconds of the quarter of AVA Morrison-a Field-Goal and was 22: 9 until half-time.

“It felt really good to get on the right foot early,” said South Warren Junior McLaine Hudson. “We somehow fight at the beginning of the games – the first to be beaten instead of being beaten. I think we got out and first hit this evening. “

South Warren held a two -digit lead for the entire second half, with the edge rose up to 20 in the last few minutes. Hudson, who ended with 31 points with a game height, scored 13 out of 14 points for the Spartans in the second half to help South Warren a comfortable advantage.

“She has a look at the eyes tonight,” said Embry. “When she came off the ground for the first time when she went up again, I said: 'Ok, I think it's time to go for her' and she did it. I am proud of her that she appeared here. “

Jooniper Strow added 10 points and competed in South Warren as just two -digit goal scorers.

Anzlee Hendrix led Greenwood with 12 points, while Molly Spidel added 10 points.

“We opened the first two games on the offensive and crossed it outside the borders, so I think it was nerves,” said Terrance Williams, Greenwood coach. “We had four free throws early. We met one of four. I think there were nerves. Then you just try to climb a hard fight from this point.

“McLaine was McLaine. She was McLaine all day. If you have such a girl, she just pounds on you and hits you and hits you and will not let you come back into the game. “

Greenwood ends the season 11-18 and misses the 4-tournament region for the second season in a row. The Lady Gator ended the season with eight defeats in a row and after a win against South Warren on January 24th 3-12.

“We are very young,” said Williams. “We start an eighth grader at Point Guard. We start a newcomer to Shooting Guard. We bring an eighth grader from the bank. We will certainly be young next year, but it is promising to know that we are young and get better.

“I feel bad for my seniors. We will lose three good ones. “

The Spartans will compete against Bowling Green at 6 p.m. on Thursday at Bowling Green High School. Bowling Green went after the deterioration of Warren Central. The Lady Dragons had no longer played since January 31 due to injuries and illnesses and ended the 0-17 season.

Bowling Green defeated South Warren twice in the regular season with a 44:28 victory on January 31, the last defeat of the Spartans.

“In this district and in this region, when you are the same team you were tomorrow, you will be behind you because everyone will get better in the course of the year,” said Embry. “I know that bowling Green has a really good team. You play a great defense. We have to sit down and find out a few things we can do to work against them. We are only happy tonight to get this victory and continue. Now we would like to reduce the nets on Thursday. “
