Kassidy Widner led with 4 points, followed by Griffin, Wells and Christina Longs with 2 points each.

“We’ve been working on running the floor, a little fast break,” Coach Lance Godwin told the Post-Searchlight Friday night. “That’s what we’ve been working on… both of them (boys and girls teams). A lot of man-to-man defense. We’ve been working on a lot of defense and a lot of fast-break offense transition, and that’s what we did in both games, and it paid off pretty good there.”

The girls then went up against Covenant Academy on Saturday afternoon, winning again, 62-30.

Harrell led the pack in the first quarter, bringing in 6 points with three layups. McRae scored 4 points, followed by Wells with a three-point shot. Warr and Griffin both scored 2 points each.

Overall, the girls scored 17 points in the first quarter.

Wells netted 9 points for the team, making 3 three-point shots, while 6 points were scored by Griffin. McRae scored 3 points, while Harrell also scored 2 points in the quarter.

After halftime, the team was able to keep that momentum going in the third quarter, again scoring 20 points.

Warr made 3 three-point shots, scoring 9 points. McRae trailed closely behind, scoring 7 points, and Harrell made a layup and a pair of free throws to score 4 points.
