BIRMINGHAM – Geneva County started the game with a made 3-pointer by Madison Cady, but not much more went in the Bulldogs favor in the first half during an eventual
JON JOHNSON 70-50 loss to Mars Hill Bible on Monday in the Class 2A semifinals at the BJCC Legacy Arena.
The Bulldogs played much better after intermission, but the 24-point deficit at halftime was far too much to overcome. The game pretty much got away from the Bulldogs in the second quarter when they were outscored 27-13. Jordyn Alston led Geneva County with 20 points and 14 rebounds. Charlianna Boutwell followed in scoring with 17 points, while Cady added nine points.
“I told the girls coming out after halftime and to start the fourth quarter, I said, ‘You hear the fan base behind us? They haven’t given up on y’all, so don’t give up on yourself.’ We’re a small community, but they definitely stand by our school and athletes and they support us in everything that we do.”
Mars Hill then took complete control by pushing the ball up the floor when the opportunity presented for easy baskets and pressuring Geneva County into 14 turnovers in the opening 16 minutes.
