November 2018

RAWSON - Host Cory-Rawson outscored Ada 24-9 in the second half to spoil the Bulldog girls basketball season opener in the debut of new head coach Morgan Bass by a 42-20 count Tuesday night.

 

Ada trailed just 18-11 at halftime, but C-R's pressing defense helped the Hornets reel off a 16-2 third quarter that put the game out of reach with a 21-point cushion.

 

"We came out and it got away from us in the second half," said Bass. "We struggled to handle pressure and didn't get as many looks at the basket due to turnovers."
