Bowling Green School’s Lady Buccaneers suffered a 52-48 loss to North Delta School in the opening round of the Class AAA Tournament on Wednesday at Columbia Academy.
Callie Seal led the Lady Bucs in points with 19 to go with five rebounds, two assists and two steals. Seal hit four of her six free-throw attempts.
Allie McCain posted 11 points, five boards and an assist.
Hallie Robertson recorded eight points, four rebounds, two assists and four steals.

Kyley Seals tallied four points, pulled down 10 boards to go with three assists and five steals.
KaKa Seal added a point.
Cailee Fruge posted an assist. She missed most of the game after an injury in the first quarter.
Bowling Green coach Barry Seal praised the effort of his team.
“These kids fought hard the entire game. Overall, that was an unbelievable effort. They bought into what I sold them. They had never stayed in a 1-2-2 zone the entire game and they did this game. My goal for Bowling Green basketball is no quit and we showed that and this team reflected that,” Seal said.
Bowling Green had two seniors this year in Fruge and Robertson.
“Two great kids that have been to the state tournament four years in a row,” Seal said. “The leadership and role models these kids bring, I was glad my youngest daughter (KaKa Seal) got to be around them. They will be sadly missed from this program.”
