“It was a good win for us,” said South Point coach Dave Adams. “We started off sluggish but defensively we played really well as a team over the last three quarters. Camille Hall carried us offensively and Sarah Mitchell hit some big baskets.”
Evan Williams hit a trey and scored 5 points and Teegan Carpenter had a 3-point play as Ironton took a 9-6 first quarter lead. Sarah Mitchell had 3 points for South Point.
But the Lady Pointers came back strong in the second quarter to outscore Ironton 11-3 and take a 17-12 lead at the half.
Camille Hall and Mitchell scored 4 points each and Saratina Jackson knocked down a triple for the Lady Pointers.
Emerson White accounted for Ironton’s offense with a 3-pointer.
South Point continued to control the game by outscoring Ironton 10-2 in the second quarter as Hall had 8 points and it was 27-14.
Evan Williams had the lone Ironton basket.
Five different players scored in the fourth quarter as South Point added to its lead.
Kirsten Williams and Isabel Morgan each drained a 3-pointer for Ironton’s offense.
