KFDM COOP Posted January 6, 2007 Report Posted January 6, 2007 Scott gets quadruple-double, WO-S winsGabriel PruettThe Orange LeaderWEST ORANGE — After collecting the first triple-double of her high school career, West Orange-Stark’s Brittney Scott decided to take the feat up a notch on Friday.Needing just one rebound, Scott lined up along the free throw line and waited for Jasper’s Clementine Johnson to shoot with under :30 seconds to play.Johnson missed and Scott went up and snared the basketball. Seconds after landing, Scott lost her balance and stepped out of bounds but with the accomplishment in hand.Scott led a powerful Lady Mustangs’ attack that saw WO-S sink Jasper 74-19.The senior guard who is headed to the University of Houston after graduation also chimed in 11 steals and 10 steals to round out the rare feat.“This was the first even triple-double for me,†Scott said. “It was very exciting. It started to get hard there at the end to pull it off because I was winded.â€Scott’s only break came with a minute left in the third period when she sat until the start of the fourth.Also in on the action Friday night for WO-S (14-5, 3-2) was Janea Hendreson who pulled off a double-double with 18 points and 11 rebounds.Kia Hartfield finished with 20 points, none more exciting than a buzzer-beating three to end the game.Jasper (1-13, 0-5) was paced by Anna Nation who led her team with seven points and also grabbed eight rebounds. Brianna Hafford also collected eight boards. WO-S Coach Callie Orebo was glad to see the Lady Mustangs have a little fun on Friday because the team travels to face rival Orangefield on Tuesday.“That is always a big rivalry game,†Orebo said. “Everybody always gets up for that game. The best game so far was against Silsbee that went double overtime. You can be Orangefield on Tuesday will be just the same. In my mind it would be best if both Orange County teams get two of those playoff spots out of our district.â€The Lady Mustangs never let the Lady Bulldogs smell a lead as WO-S jumped out to a 22-0 lead to start the game off.Scott had 13 points in the run while Hendreson put in six. Jasper’s Brittany Bronson ended the drought with a bucket with :20 seconds showing on the clock.Hartfield opened the second period up with a three-pointer and Scott scored seven more before half-time as WO-S led 38-5 at the break.The Lady Mustangs outscored the Lady Bulldogs 36-14 to end the game.WO-S forced a total of 30 turnovers and only gave the ball up 13 times in the contest.The Lady Mustangs also held a 35-25 edge in the rebounding department.WO-S was 11-20 from the free throw line while Jasper was 5-for-15.
