Bowling Green School’s Lady Buccaneers led by 17 at halftime and then essentially sealed away the game with a third-quarter run in a 54-26 win over Ben’s Ford Christian School at home Tuesday.
The Lady Buccaneers had a 26-9 lead at halftime and then outscored Ben’s Ford 19-9 to take a 45-18 lead through three quarters.
Ben’s Ford began the second half on an 8-1 run before Bowling Green got its offense going.
The run began with a pair of free throws by Dani Descant. Alaina McClelland made a 3-pointer, pulling the Lady Eagles within 12 with 7:09 left. Bowling Green’s Macey Jones split from the free-throw line for a 27-14 lead before McClelland was good once again from beyond the 3-point line. It was 27-17 with 6:33 on the clock.
Bowling Green’s Hope Crowe answered with a 3-pointer of her own, making it a 13-point game once again.
Crowe’s 3-pointer started an 18-1 run for the Lady Buccaneers to end the period.
Allie McCain hit a 3-pointer to make it 33-17. Ben’s Ford’s Kelci Freeman hit 1-of-2 from the free-throw line. Then field goals by Crowe and Jones had the Lady Buccaneers up 37-18 with 3:32 left. KaKa Seal hit a shot, got fouled and completed the three-point play for a 40-18 lead with 2:36 on the clock. McCain hit a 3-pointer from the right corner and then Allie Schilling made a steal in the backcourt and hit the layup with five seconds remaining in the third quarter.
“Execution. That’s been our problem the last three or four games,” Bowling Green coach Barry Seal said. “We’ve had opportunities, but we haven’t made opportunities count. I know it’s there because I’m watching it on film after games and we finally came out in the quarter and executed the plays and sets that we should.”
