Bellevue Lady Eagles top Gold-Burg in second district game of 2018-19

Published

on

The Gold-Burg Lady Bears hosted district power Bellevue on Friday for both team’s second district game of the season.

With the Lady Eagles coming off blowing out Saint Jo in the district opener and the Lady Bears holding their own against district favorite Slidell, the two teams were coming from different experiences. Bellevue was able to win easily 59-14.

Early on, Gold-Burg was able to hang in there better than most thought they would. Some of that was the Lady Eagles electing not to press on defense like they usually do and some of that was due to the Lady Bears two primary ball handlers Taylor Lyons and Kelly Contreras driving hard to the rim in the hopes to make something happen. The Lady Eagles led 18-7 heading into the second quarter.

The Bellevue Lady Eagles were not making three-point shots like they are used to, so instead they crashed the offensive boards and were able to score on several put backs.

The full week of Jim Bowie Days Celebrations started on Saturday with the bass tournament at Lake Amon G. Carter.
The bass tournament was the start of the day and had 23 teams compete. By the time of weigh-ins, 14 teams brought in fish to be weighed.
The overall winner was the team of Rick and Cody Green. The pair had a total of 11.58 pounds to take first place. It all came from one fish as well, so they also took home first place for the big bass award.
They finished just ahead of the team Casey and Jimmy Smith, whose one fish was just a bit lighter at 11.50 pounds in both total and big bass competitions.
It was extra special for the Greens since the team had finished second the previous year, beaten by the Smith team who were seeking their third straight first place title at the JBD Bass Tournament.
Third place went to the team of Doug Covington and Melanie Mack. They tied with three other teams with the most caught fish, ending the day with four caught. Their total was just short as well, weighing in at 11.48 pounds. Their biggest fish caught at 6.81 pounds was also the third biggest caught of the day.
