The Lady Bobcats (2-0) overcame a slow start but still managed to roll to an easy 21-point win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maya Ausmus scored 17 points in the win while Lauren McGeorge added 15 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gracie Jo Wilder led Bell County with an 18-point scoring effort, finishing with 18 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe got off to a sluggish start but I thought our energy got better in the second half, especially on the defensive side of the ball. That gave us the opportunity to get out in transition some,\u201d Bell County coach David Teague said. \u201cWe had some kids step up and make some shots when we needed it. Our scoring was balanced as we had 3 in double figures and had several other players do some good things and give some great minutes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Teague\u2019s squad led 14-9 at the end of the first quarter as Wilder scored five points, and Ausmus added three points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wilder and McGeorge both scored seven points apiece while the Lady Bobcats\u2019 lead grew to 28-22 at halftime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bell County began to pull away in the third quarter as Ausmus scored seven points while hitting a 3-pointer, and Wilder added five points, pushing their team\u2019s lead to 48-32 entering the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
