GW stops Bland big

The Maroon boys came out of the gate firing, dropping in 54 points before the half.

Bland wouldn’t sink that the whole game, never getting past the double digits after an 11-point opening frame.

The bright spot for Bland was Brady Thompson, who dropped in three treys for 15 points on the night.

David Goode led the Maroons with 13 points, while Brayden Rainey shoved in a dozen.

The GW girls got off to a rockier start, scoring just seven in the opening stanza. Lucky for the Maroons, though, the Lady Bears got off to an even tougher start, netting just four points.

A 26-point third quarter put the game out of reach for Bland County as the Lady Maroons claimed the MED victory 57-24.

Abby Berry and Amarrah Carter-Bennett each nailed a pair of three-pointers to lead the GW girls.
