Lady Bulldogs fall in tournament

BLACKSVILLE — The Tygarts Valley Lady Bulldogs’ basketball season came to an end Saturday with a loss in the opening round of the sectional tournament to Clay-Battelle, 57-38.

“It was a very close game in the first half,” said TVHS coach Nancy Lewis. “We were up 14-10 at the end of the first quarter, and were only behind 26-24 at the half.

“They caught fire with their three-point shooting in the second half, and we just couldn’t hit a shot,” Lewis said. “We only shot 18 percent in the second half.”

Clay-Battelle hit 10 three-pointers during the contest.

Emily Ball had a double-double for TVHS, scoring 11 points and grabbing 10 rebounds.

Courtney Haddix and Abby Harris each scored 9 points for the Lady Bulldogs, with Harris swiping 5 steals as well.

Kaleah Pritt added 5 points, while Tatum Wamsley scored 4 points and pulled down 5 rebounds.

Clay-Battelle’s Haley Barr led all scorers with 26 points on the night.

Saturday’s gametime was moved up to noon because of the weather.

TVHS, which finishes the season with a record of 8-14, will only lose two seniors, Pritt and Kelsey Armstrong, to graduation this year.

“We’ve got a lot to build on next year,” Lewis said. “They’re a good group of kids and they’ve grown a lot this year as a team.”
