Lady Bobcats throttle BC, 50-29

The Orange Leader

ORANGEFIELD — Getting a strong test for two and a half quarters by the Bridge City Lady Cardinals, the Orangefield Bobcats exploded down the backstretch to notch a 50-29 District 21-3A-opening win at Bobcat Gym Friday night.

The Lady Cardinals (6-12, 0-1) got to within 30-26 with a little more than two minutes remaining in the third period only to see the Lady Bobcats (15-7, 1-0) close the quarter with an 8-0 run. Leading 38-26 heading into the fourth period, the Lady Bobcats went on to hold Bridge City without a field goal in the final eight minutes as they closed out the contest with a 12-3 spurt.

The Lady Bobcat defense hammered the Lady Cardinal offense all night long, forcing Bride City into a whopping 35 turnovers. Orangefield also limited Bridge City to just seven field goals made.

Lady Bobcat Rebecca Higginbotham had one of her better games of the season as she led Orangefield with 13 points to go along with five rebounds.

Senior pos Aimee Scales contributed 11 points and five rebounds. Marissa Wyatt pumped in 10 points while Ashton Wagner added six points and five boards.

Post Jordan Royal, the Lady Cardinals’ leading scorer for the season, led the way again Friday night by tallying 10 points while yanking down nine rebounds.

Brooklyn Hogden had eight points and seven rebounds, including burying two three-pointers while pos Ashley Wilbur contributed five points and a game-high 10 rebounds.

Both teams shot a slew of free throws, neither faring too well.

Orangefield went just 21-of-39 from the charity stripe while Bridge City was only 12-of-26.

Bridge City finished with a 34-27 rebounding advantage and forced Orangefield into 21 turnovers.

Orangefield led 8-7 at the end of the first period and stretched it to 23-17 at intermission.

The Lady Bobcats will travel to Orange County rival West Orange-Stark Tuesday while the Lady Cardinals welcome Hardin-Jefferson.

      That should tell everyone something pretty clearly. Does anyone really think BH is recruiting elementary kids, to get them to transfer in Jr. high? Seriously? Here is the "dirty little secret" about BH: Most people move to the district for a quality living environment to raise their young family, and benefit from the outstanding acedemics at BH. Even If all athlectics suddenly disappeared from BH, people would still want their kids in the district. If thats not enough to convince anyone, and BH really was determined to recruit, first step would be to have open enrollemnt. It is closed.        Yes, I get it, no one ever wants to give BH the benefit of the doubt on anything. Some of the accusations are beyond ridiculous though. This paranoia the BH critics are afflicted with is not just sad, its flat out laughable.

      Opting is always an option. Are they considering any BC assistants? Highly qualified after that season they put up.

      Be that as it may, only time will tell. Hide and watch. Don’t be surprised if the next HC hire uses his own recipe. That happens more than not historically. I am not arguing the point that Hooks & CT had a winning combination that could’ve been carried over. I’m saying that finding someone to do that is not going to be as easy as one might think. Tell me again why Saban’s replacement, who even has Saban’s assistance if he wants it, just lost another game to an unranked team and has taken the Tide out of playoff contention? Why wouldn’t he just follow the success of possibly the greatest college football coach ever lived?

      We've acknowledged having 2 HOF coaches hasn't been like most other schools. So why everyone jumps to the conclusion it wouldn't work here is beyond my comprehension. I see it carry over with these other hires. Gilmer, Aledo, North Shore, Austin Westlake. Next man up that continues the system in place has instant success. Matter fact there was 2 rookie HC that won the state championship the same year we handed over the keys. Same book. Same recipe. Better ingredients.
