The Greenwood Lady Bulldogs added another 5A West Conference win with a 89-32 win.
Tuesday night the Lady Bulldogs beat the Van Buren 60-28. The Harrison Lady Goblins took the nearly 3 hour trip to the legendary H.B. Stewart Arena and did not fair much better.
In the first period Greenwood jumped out to a quick 7-0 lead until Harrison’s Brooklyn Mitchell would get them on the scoreboard. Greenwood would get a 26-4 lead at the end of the period with Anna Trusty getting 16 points, Brooklyn Woolsey with 6, Mady Cartwright had 4, and Carley Sexton and Izzy Smith adding 2 each. On the defensive side they absolutely stifiled Harrison from mounting any sort of consistency in shooting.
The 2nd period saw the starting 5 of Cartwright, Trusty, Woolsey, Sexton, and Adriana Rusin rotate out for the remainder of the half at the 4:59 mark. It did not slow down the Greenwood bench from showing how deep it was, adding 8 points to push the lead to 55-15. Freshman Kylah Pearcy got 6 points and Liddie-Ann Adams with 2 points.
Coming out of halftime saw the starting 5 putting up 17 more points to push the Greenwood to 72. They gave way to the bench again and with Pearcy taking advantage of the opportunity to get 7 more points.
4th period the Lady Bulldogs went deeper on the bench getting everyone on the 23 athlete roster in the game. Pate Jones came in a let her presence known with a 6 point effort, Madelyn Wilkinson added 2 points and Soraya Garcia also added 2.
Anna Trusty led with scoring 19 points, with Mady Cartwright getting 18. Brooklyn Woolsey and Kylah Pearcy with 13 each. Carly Sexton and Adriana Rusin both had 5 points.
“We came out and played well. We’ve got great kids that work hard everyday. We compete in practice, we’ve got a lot of players that can play and they all compete against each other every day.” Coach Reeves said after the game. “Fortunately, tonight, we played all 23 players. A lot of them scored and got up and down the floor a lot.”
Asked about the depth of bench coming in and being able to make an impact. “We mix ours up every day. If you’re not ready, our players in practice. If you are not focused and ready, somebody will take it from you. We try to stay after them to play hard, play defense. Always be ready, because you never know when your chance will be there.”
Up next the Lady Bulldogs take on Siloam Springs on Tuesday.
