War Eagles Prevail
BY WAYNE PHILLIPS SPORTS EDITOR
Sycamore High's Lady War Eagles
picked up a win in day's first game, beating West Greene 62-42, thanks to nine 3-point
goals.
The War Eagles hit 51 percent from the field for the game, and netted nine 3-pointers
with Ashley Barksdale, Sara Bliss and Abbey Brown connecting on two each.
Sycamore led 15-10
after one quarter and lengthened that advantage to 30-15 at intermission. West Greene could never get
the deficit back to single digits.
The Eagles (12-3) were led by Sara Bliss with 15, Becca
Brown with 11 and Abbey Brown with 10. West Greene (3-9) got 11 points and nine rebounds from Kayla
Murphy and nine points from Victoria Franklin.
Play was halted briefly in the second half in
a scary moment as West Greene's Korey Mathes slid head-first into the block wall behind the goal and
sustained a cut to her head. She was treated first by trainers on hand for the tourney then
reportedly went to a local hospital for additional treatment.
