Lady Cats Basketball Blows Out Pleasant Grove, Again at Home Friday

basketball

Sulphur Springs is back at home on Friday, hosting Pittsburg.

The Lady Cats hope for similar efforts as Tuesday, as the women’s basketball team pulverized last place Pleasant Grove 70-41.

A huge win at home over the Lady Hawks would not have been possible were it not for even scoring. Eight of nine players that suited up scored for Sulphur Springs in the win.

While off to a lightning quick start, the second and third quarters saw the Lady Cats feast on PG, scoring 43 points in the middle two quarters. That point total was greater than the Lady Hawks scored all night.

Coach Bryan Jones and his team started off electric in the first game of the second half of district play.

The Lady Cats had a gaping lead over the visiting Lady Hawks after one quarter, 19-3. Codee Roland was the major catalyst as multiple turnovers committed by PG saw the sophomore already past half-court, leading to easy layups and a huge lead. No halftime adjustments were necessary for Sulphur Springs in the blowout win.

Coach Jones and his team stayed put as they lead in a huge way 33-12.

An even bigger third quarter, which saw six different Lady Cats combine for 29 points, gave way to a mountain of a deficit for the Lady Hawks as they trailed by 30 or more at times.

Even with the best quarter for PG coming in the fourth, the game had long been decided as Coach Jones and his team won big over the Lady Hawks, 70-41.

Eight of nine Lady Cats scored in the blowout win over Pleasant Grove. Codee Roland scored 20 points, 13 of which came in the first quarter. After that was Kenzie Willis and Trinity Jefferson, both at 11 points, and Addisyn Wall was just behind them at 10.

Kyra Carter finished with seven points, followed by Rainey Johnson (five) and Aaliyah Cheatum and Kaylee Carter with three each.

The win on Tuesday, Jan. 24 brings the team’s record to 20-6 (3-3 district). The blowout victory also snaps a three-game losing skid for the Lady Cats.

They have another district match at home on Friday when they host Pittsburg.

That game tips off in the SSHS Main Gym on Friday, Jan. 27 at 6:15 P.M.

Friday’s game will be broadcasted onto KSST 1230 AM. Friday’s district match-up will also be live-streamed onto KSST Radio’s Youtube channel.
