Lady Bulldogs Basketball

Lady Bulldogs Basketball Wanda Lambott, Lady Bulldogs Assistant Coach Coach Lawson had a quick chat with Manhattan Tiger Coach Ballantyne before the game. He asked about their recent success and was told it all came down to “playing as a TEAM.” Guess what? The Lady Bulldogs proved they can do that as well!
A slow start in the 1st quarter resulted in an early deficit for the Lady Bulldogs. The Tigers scored 17 points to just 5 points for the Bulldogs. At halftime, the Bulldogs were still down 36-17. The girls ran quickly off the court to regroup. Talk in the locker room focused on execution, discipline, energy and self-belief. An invigorated and energized Bulldog TEAM took the court by storm in the third and fourth quarters. They would go on to outscore the Tigers by 8 points in the second half for a final score of 65-54. Sometimes, a loss feels like a WIN.
Ella Begger led the scorers with 12 points, Holly Newman 11 points, Emily Bird 9 points, Emmalin Fischer 8 points, Bri Williams and Cassidy Flynn 5 points each and Kaitlyn Noyes 4 points.
The Lady Bulldogs will have two home games this week. They will face Lone Peak on Friday and Three Forks on Saturday.
