A big fourth quarter helped a tall and talented High Point Andrews girls’ varsity basketball team claim a 46-34 win over Bishop McGuinness on Friday night.
The Lady Villains controlled the game early, but the Lady Red Raiders rallied in the third quarter and made a 14-2 run in the final minutes to claim the victory.
“Andrews is always good," Bishop McGuinness Head Coach Brian Robinson said. "They were a lot taller than we are, and their length bothered us a lot, especially in the second half. We had a lot of two-on-ones to get layups, but every time they had somebody 6 feet or taller blocking. At one point we were up 18-7 and I thought we might blow them out, but they got back into the game with the height and athleticism,” said
The Lady Red Raiders' Sam King poured in 23 points. Bishop’s Claire Sullivan finished with 14 points.
Friday was Senior Night for Lady Villains seniors Lillian Schultz, Jenna Moore, Laney Heafner, Claire Sullivan, Shanon Sullivan, LilyMac Litchfield and Morgan Aho.
“They have kept up our tradition of playing at a high level and just playing hard every game. They have done that consistently and have set the foundation for the next group coming up. We don't have the height and the athleticism we have had, but they do play hard and they have the opportunity to possibly play for another state championship,” Robinson said.
The Lady Villains (14-3) were scheduled to play host to South Stokes Monday night and will host North Stokes on Wednesday at 6:30 p.m.
BMHS —9 9 8 8—34
