Bellevue vs Gold-Burg
The Bellevue Lady Eagles won at home on Friday night against Gold-Burg.
The Lady Eagles won 53-31 against the Lady Bears.
The game started out slow and competitive. Bellevue was able to make a couple of 3-pointers and leak out for transition opportunities that would hurt Gold-Burg all night.
The Lady Bears hung tough, but trailed 13-6 after the first quarter. It was more of the same in the second quarter.
Bellevue’s Callie Martin got to the free throw line six times during this period and made most of those trips worth it.
Gold-Burg was able to make some 3-pointers and competed tough to keep the game relatively close. Bellevue led 26-18 heading into halftime.
Despite the Lady Eagles lack of depth, they did a good job of looking for transition opportunities against a Lady Bears team trying to crash the offensive glass.
Gold-Burg had troubles scoring in the second half and Bellevue made them pay by pushing the ball on outlet passes to players leaking out early.
Bellevue would win 53-31.

New Saint Jo Boy’s Basketball Coach Terry McLennan said the school’s family atmosphere is what prompted him to join the Panther family.
“This is an opportunity to be an important program but also part of a great community,” McLennan said. “I’ve been looking to get back to a small town environment like the one I grew up in and played ball and this should do that.”
McLennan played basketball in Hubbard outside of Waco. McLennan comes to town after being the assistant girl’s basketball coach in Grand Prairie.
McLennan contends he’s a defensive style of coach but says his team will focus on intensity.
