In a masterful display of defensive fundamentals and conditioning, the Bryan 8th grade Lady Bears secured a 43-2 victory over the Evergreen Vikings. Coming off their second night of competition in a row, the Lady Bears showed no signs of heavy legs, instead delivering a high-intensity performance from start to finish.<\/p>\n
The Lady Bears achieved a rare “shutout” from the field, successfully preventing the Vikings from making a single basket during live play. Evergreen’s only points of the game came from two successful free throws, as the Bryan defense remained suffocating through all four quarters.<\/p>\n
Bryan did establish control early, utilizing their transition game and ball movement to score 26 points in the first half. The offensive efficiency, paired with their lockdown man-to-man defense effectively neutralized any offensive rhythm the Vikings tried to establish.<\/p>\n
Overall, the team leaned into their chemistry, playing unselfish basketball and maintaining their energy through the final buzzer. Scorers for the night were: Charlotte Johnston and Mallie Grant lead the way with 12 points a piece. Ady Frucey had 11, Riley Bever with 4,\u00a0 Ryann Eickhoff and Addilyn King each added in 2 points a piece.<\/p>\n
The girls will play again Thursday at home against Liberty Center.<\/p>\n
