By ROB HAMILTON
A fast start propelled Centerburg to a 55–35 win over Highland Saturday.
The Scots fell behind 19–2 after one period of play and were unable to make up that deficit. A 10-point run in the second quarter got them within a 33–21 margin, but Highland would not be able to get within single digits the rest of the way.
Heather Thacker finished with 14 points to lead the Scots in the contest.
Mount Gilead Indians
Fredericktown’s offense could not be stopped at Mount Gilead on Friday, as the Lady Freddies tallied a 71–33 win over the Indians.
The Freddies put 22 points in the board in the first quarter in taking an 18-point lead. They increased that margin to 46–14 at the half and moved on to a 64–25 advantage by the end of the third period.
Christin Sweeney led the locals with 10 of her team’s total.
Northmor Knights
Northmor’s season got off to a good start, as the Lady Knights took their first game of the year by a 49–12 margin over Crestline.
