Last Monday, the Macon County Jr. High Tigerettes took on the Red Boiling Springs Lady Bulldogs. The Tigerettes would control the Lady Bulldogs, beating them 40-13. The Tigerettes had a barrage of scoring that overwhelmed the Lady Bulldogs.

The first quarter was a long and difficult quarter for the Bulldogs. The Lady Bulldogs only had 3 points at the end of the first quarter (a bucket and one), whereas the Tigerettes racked in 13 points. It was 13-3 Macon at the end of the first. The second quarter was slow as well, only this time both teams struggled. The Tigerettes had 7 points, and the Lady Dawgs had only 5. The score at the end of the second quarter of play was Macon 20, RBS 8.

The second half wasn’t kind to the Lady Bulldogs either. They only had 5 points the entire half and those came in the third quarter. It seems their stamina went down and didn’t come back. They played hard, but it just wasn’t enough. The Tigerettes, on the other hand, played an impressive second half. They had 20 points and just seemed to outmatch RBS. Macon County had 12 points in the third quarter and 8 in the fourth.

Bailey Morgan led the Lady Bulldogs in scoring in this game. Bailey had 5 points and was 1-4 from the three point line and 1-1 from in close.
