The Batesville Bulldogs 7th Grade team moved to 8-2 on the year with a 44-11 victory over Benjamin Rush Middle School.
It was all Batesville from the beginning. The dogs cranked up the pressure with a full-court press that really shook the opponent, forcing them into numerous turnovers. Halftime score 27-4. The Bulldogs ran the floor very well in transition getting a lot of easy baskets right at the rim. Batesville never let up.
Scoring for the dogs; Brayden Maple (13), Ethan Schneider (8), Cayden Drake (6), Trenten Luers (6), Cannon Clark (4), Lincoln Garrett (3), Kain Ryan (2), and Landon Raver (2).
