Bulldog women open season with victory

By Charles Curcio, Sports Editor

Tuesday, December 2, 2008 The Albemarle girls’ basketball team opened their season on Monday night with a home win over a scrappy East Montgomery squad that made the game interesting late.

Point guard Paige McConologue led the Bulldogs (1-0) with 20 points, including 8-of-13 from the free-throw line while forward Mariah Lowder added 14.

Brandy Rush and Briana Turner led the Eagles (0-3) with 13 each, mostly on three-point shots over the Bulldogs’ zone defense.

Albemarle had their struggles in the free throw departments, as the Bulldogs were 14-of-30 overall from the line.

East Montgomery shot just 2-of-9 from the line, due in large part to concentrating their offensive attack from beyond the three-point line.

Of the Eagles’ 16 made baskets in the game, ten were from three-point range.

Albemarle held their biggest lead of the game with 2:48 left in the third quarter at 34-17 before the Eagles turned up the pressure.

Using a half-court trapping defense, East Montgomery was able to force the Bulldogs into turnovers in the second half.

Eagle Michelle Dunkins’ three-pointer with 4:07 left cut Albemarle’s lead to 11 at 42-31.

The Eagles would then go on a 11-1 run over the next three minutes to cut the lead to just one point at 43-42 with 1:57 left in the game.

The teams would trade baskets, as Lowder scored, then East’s Shanelle Cato would again cut the lead to one on a basket with 1:31 on the clock.

East Montgomery would not score again as McConologue would hit 4-of-6 from the free-throw line down the stretch to seal the win for Albemarle.

“Overall, I am pleased with the way that we played,” Albemarle head coach Stephanie Lowder said. “I think that we got a little leg weary at the end.”

Albemarle’s game with South Stanly tonight has been rescheduled to Feb. 12. Both Bulldog teams will play at home Friday against West Stanly.
