One look at St. Aloysius’ 75-46 victory over Dexter, it would be hard-pressed to imagine the Lady Flashes actually trailed 9-4 in the opening minutes of the game.
Annie Beaugh hit five straight shots in the first quarter and ended the game with 31 points to pace the Lady Flashes (23-1).
Sarah Kerut poured in 22 points and Amy Beaugh scored 12 in the victory.
After trailing early, the Lady Flashes ended the first quarter on a 19-5 run for a 23-14 lead at the end of the first quarter.
Beaugh scored eight more points in the second quarter as the lead ballooned to 48-24 at halftime. Beaugh finished the half with 25 points and played parts of the third and fourth quarters before all the starters were lifted in the early fourth quarter.
Starters gathered near one of the end lines, stretching for today’s Red Carpet Bowl Classic matchup with Mize. The Lady Flashes will play the first game of six at Warren Central beginning at 10 a.m.
Nikki Ratliffe scored a team-high 16 points for a Dexter team that has played all its games away from home this season. Hurricane Katrina ripped the roof off the school’s gym and the team salvaged only one set of uniforms. The Lady Flashes wore purple jerseys, normally reserved for road games, on Friday night.
(G) WC 72, Forest Hill 47.
Freshman Sha’Kayla Caples scored a game-high 15 points and Veronica Miller and Shantta Taylor added 11 points each as the Lady Vikes (17-6) cruised in a non-divison game.
Warren Central led 38-23 at halftime, then outscored the host Lady Rebels 22-6 in the third quarter to put the game away.
Amanda Doyle scored nine points, while Rashonda Johnson scored her first two varsity points after playing for the ninth-grade team the entire season.
WC will be in action again today at 4 p.m. against Cleveland.
