Allen County-Scottsville Lady Patriot/PatriotBasketball Schedule
2011-12
(See Girls, on Page 19)
By Don MeadorC-T Sports Editor
Allen County-Scottsville may have dropped a fi fth consecutive game last Fri-day against the Glasgow Lady Scotties but the Lady Patriots’ efforts down the stretch left an air of excite-ment in the gym. Glasgow won the game 62-56 but not before AC-S put together an impressive 24-7 fi nal eight minutes.
“We played 11 strong and Glasgow played seven,” said AC-S Coach Brad Bonds. “They got really tired. Our intentions for the second half were to keep the pres-sure on and hopefully wear them down. Things started to go our way.”
After three periods Friday night, the Glasgow Lady Scotties led 55-32. The huge lead came about primarily after the Lady Scotties put together a 25-7 fi rst period, taking advantage of a rough eight-minute span for AC-S.
“We weren’t playing that bad,” Coach Bonds said. “We just couldn’t get anything to go our way. Our shots just would not fall and we didn’t have the energy level I want-ed us to have. It just seemed like every ball bounced the wrong way. I felt like I was in the twilight zone.”
The Lady Scotties—on the strength of seven of 16 from the fl oor and nine of 10 free throws—grabbed the early double-digit lead. However, in the second eight minutes, AC-S regrouped. Baskets from Morgan Rich, Holly Robinson and Savannah Gregory as well as fi ve-of-six
free-throw shooting revived the offense. Defensively, AC-S increased the pres-sure. The result was a 13-10 quarter in favor of the Lady Patriots. Glasgow led 35-20 at halftime.
“In the second quarter, our kids decided they fi nally wanted to play basketball,” Coach Bonds added. “At halftime we made a few mi-nor adjustments and came out with a lot of energy. In the second half we competed with a team that’s ranked highly in the state.”
The Lady Patriots cut the Lady Scotties’ lead to 12 af-ter a Rich put-back at the 7:12 mark of the third. Glas-gow regrouped and actually looked to be pushing the game open until the fi nal frame, when AC-S chipped away at Glasgow’s 23 point lead.
The late-game run be-gan as the Lady Patriots attacked Glasgow’s zone defense with crisp passing and a three-point barrage. Inside the fi rst minute of the fourth, Lauren Yokley drained back-to-back threes to trim the lead to 17. Glas-gow pushed the lead back to 19, only to see Bre Boards and Rachel Carter connect on threes to close the gap to 13, 57-44, with 5:19 left. Lady Scottie Shailika Smith scored inside to increase the lead to 15. Carter answered with a second three to trim the lead to 12.
The run continued as the Lady Patriots switched to an inside game plan. Rich dished out back-to-back as-sists to Robinson for points in the paint. Then, Sandy Young’s rebound basket at 1:31 capped off a 9-0 run and trimmed the lead to six, 59-53. Moments later, after Smith scored inside, Rich canned a three to pull AC-S within fi ve, 61-56, with 10 seconds left. The Lady Scot-ties went on to escape with the 62-56 win.
“It took every one of us,” Bonds said. “I’m so proud of these kids and what it showed. It’s still a loss, but it’s one that you digest a lit-tle easier with the fact that we played as well as we did.
We can’t dig ourselves a hole and get down by that much. Hopefully, we can correct some mistakes and keep getting better.”
Rich paced the Lady Pa-triots with 13 points and 11 rebounds. Smith led all scor-ers with 26. The Lady Patri-ots were 20-57 from the fl oor (35.1 percent) including six of 14 from three-point range. At the foul line, AC-S was 10-14 (71.4 percent).
AC-S forced Glasgow into 17 turnovers, were even with the taller team on the glass and outscored the Lady Scot-ties off the bench, 17-6. Ten of the 12 Lady Patriots who played in the game scored.
The Lady Patriot effort against the Lady Scotties was refreshing given the fact that AC-S was playing a fourth consecutive game against an opponent ranked among the state’s top 22 teams. A week earlier, AC-S lost to third-ranked Monroe County and last Tuesday, dropped a 58-41 contest to 15th-ranked Bowling Green.

Freshman post Holly Robinson (42) is fouled on the arm as she attempts a shot last Friday. Rob-inson struggled to fi nd her touch, as did AC-S for three periods. Robinson’s in-the-paint work helped her team; in the fi nal eight minutes, hot shooting abounded, highlighted by AC-S six-of-eight shoot-ing from three-point range.

handle the physical play of the game.
“It was a very physical game,” Coach Bonds re-called. “I thought we did a decent job of breaking their press but we had problems with turnovers in the half court. We had too many
turnovers and they wore us out on the boards.”
The Lady Patriots stayed with the Lady Purples in the fi rst eight minutes, grabbing a 10-8 lead after the fi rst pe-riod. However, a 21-10 sec-ond period turned the tide
