Lady 'Hounds top Reynolds
Wilmington (45) Vs. Reynolds (39)
Feb 15, 2011
The Wilmington High girls basketball team bolstered its playoff position last night.

The Lady Greyhounds took over sole possession of fourth place in District 10, Region 2-AA with a 45-39 victory on the road over Reynolds.

Wilmington (6-5 region, 12-9 overall) climbed within a game of third-place Greenville (7-4, 12-8). Wilmington plays at Greenville on Thursday.

“That’s a really huge game Thursday,” Wilmington coach Brandy Sanford said. “(Last night’s) win really does give our girls confidence on the road.”

Wilmington erased an 11-5 deficit after the first quarter by outscoring the Lady Raiders (5-6, 10-10) 20-11 in the second quarter.

“It was a really slow start for us and I was very frustrated,” Sanford said. “I told the girls they need to get out there and play. Their defense was doing OK, but not great; they just needed to get out there and play Wilmington basketball.”

Trailing 37-35 after three periods, the Lady Greyhounds put the clamps down and outscored Reynolds, 10-2, over the final eight minutes.

“We just shut everything down in the fourth quarter,” Sanford said. “We were talking more and playing much better on both ends.”

Haley Marett notched a game-best 13 points for the Lady Greyhounds and Mackenzie Hiers was next with 12. Julie Burns pulled down a game-high 15 rebounds to go along with her six markers.

Jill Siege netted nine points for Reynolds.
