Waldron opens holiday tournament with romp over Batesville

Batesville didn't make a shot from the field until the 2:38 mark of the first quarter.  At that point, Waldron led 11-0.

 

The Bulldogs (3-12) didn't score from the field again until there was less than a minute remaining in the third period.  By then, a running clock was in play as Waldron dominated in the opening game of the Waldron Tournament, 52-8.

 

Waldron led 18-4 after one quarter and by 35 at the half, 39-4.  Those two made field goals by Batesville were the only shots the Bulldogs made in the game (2-of-22, 9%).

 

Meanwhile, Waldron also struggled with lay-ups and shots in the paint.  However, the Mohawks shot 9-of-17 from beyond the three-point arc led by Megan Bogemann's five from long range for a game-high 15 points.

 

Overall, Waldron was 21-of-49 from the field (43%).

 

Waldron (13-0) also controlled the glass with a 30-10 rebound advantage. 

 

Head coach Anthony Thomas was pleased with his team's outing in the 9:00 am semifinal.

 

 

Mackenzie Shaw scored 12 for the Mohawks in advancing to tonight's championship game against 3A Tri-West.  The Bruins (9-5) defeated Blackford, 72-59.
