Lady Bulldogs Basketball Results

The Batesville Lady Bulldogs picked up their fourth win of the season Saturday evening with a 66-32 victory over the visiting South Decatur Lady Cougars.

“I am very pleased how we played,” BHS head coach Bryan Helvie commented. “We did a good job taking care of the basketball and being patient on offense. It enabled us to get the best look and not just the first one.

“We played pretty well in spurts against Greensburg the night before and I was glad to see them follow up with another good effort. It is nice to see their hard work continuing to pay off,” he added.

The Lady Bulldogs were balanced offensively as a result of their improved and more efficient play on the offensive end. Four players scored in double figures and they committed just nine turnovers in the game. Makayla Granger led the way for the Lady Bulldogs with 16 points and five assists. Catherine Raab was 3-of-4 from behind the 3-point line and finished with 15 points. Calley Kaiser and Carley Pride tallied 12 and 11 points, respectively. Bre Wells was the leading rebounder with seven boards.

The Lady Bulldogs improved to 4-6 on the season with the victory. They will next be in action Dec. 30 when they play Terre Haute North in the first round of the Walt Raines Classic in Franklin.

Congratulations to the Batesville JV Girls Basketball Team on their victory over Greensburg 38-29.
