7th Grade: The 7th grade Lady Bears played a matinee game yesterday in the Den and defeated Cambridge City Lincoln 45-7. All 10 Bears contributed to the victory, with Mati McConnell leading in scoring with 11, Mila Morris 7, Izzy McGrath, Claire Cheesman and Brynlee Dumpert 6, Lillie Moery 4, Gracie McCreery 3 and Landry Taylor 2. Ada Wagner and Bristol Goad played shut down defense. The Bears next game will be home Thursday against Northeastern. 8th Grade: The Lady Bears played host to Lincoln on Tuesday evening and sent a feisty Lady Eagles team home with their wings clipped and tail feathers plucked - beating the visitors 37-8 and remaining undefeated at home this season. The Bears led 12-0 at the end of the first thanks in part to Landry “Flash” Taylor’s 8 first quarter points, most coming off of steals and lighting fast breaks. Landry Taylor led all scorers with 11, Izzy McGrath had 8 and Lucy Huston added 6. Brynlee “The Instigator” Dumpert had 4, Gracie McCreery and Elena Simms had 3 each and Evangelina Arrington got her first bucket of the season. Bristol Goad and Arianna Carroll both played tough and contributed to the win. The Lady Bears improve their record to 6-1 and play host to Northeastern on Thursday night. GO BEARS!!!
