The Lady Bulldogs, fresh off a round one tournament win last night versus Cherokee, had the monumental task of defeating the Lady Green Devils of Greeneville, February 18, to advance in the TSSAA District 2-3A basketball tournament. Claiborne entered the game as the underdog, but even with a loss, they would be in the consolation game against the loser of today’s Cocke County versus Grainger game, February 20, at 6 PM.
Greeneville started out dropping threes, and Claiborne countered with Allie Jones, Taylor Pressnell, Jordan Fultz, and Hannah Fugate, Emma Myatt and at the three-minute mark, the score was 16-12. Greeneville continued to shoot lights out and after one period of play led 25-15. Claiborne pulled to within 10 at one point, but the Green Devils stroked another three-pointer and at the half led 36-22.
Claiborne needed a big run coming out of the locker room, and they scored first but then watched Greeneville bust two three-pointers. At the 4:53 mark, Greeneville had made a run, making the score 51-26. The Lady Green Devils kept scoring and, by the end of the period, held a comfortable lead at 63-26. Claiborne only scored four points during the third period. The final period featured a running clock and Greeneville took the win 75-30.
Claiborne was led in scoring by Allie Jones with 10, Taylor Pressnell had seven, Jordan Fultz had six, Hannah Fugate had three, Addie Brooks scored two and two others had a single point each including Emma Myatt and Jacey Ferguson. Lauren Bailey led Greeneville with 28 and Dalaina Martin scored 18.
