Lady Leopards set to wrap regular season
Walnut Grove averages only five points more than Banks per game, while the Lady Leopards and the Warriors are evenly matched on paper defensively.
Following Thursday’s game, Banks will rematch against East Jackson on Friday.
The Lady Eagles edged out the Lady Leopards just over two weeks ago in a close 47-46 loss for Banks. Lady Leopards take the court at East Jackson at 7 p.m.
On Tuesday Banks hosted Jefferson in the final regular season home game. Results from Tuesday’s game were unavailable at press time.
Oglethorpe
After a heartbreaking loss to East Jackson and falling to Jefferson, Banks County was able to enjoy an easy win last week.
The Lady Leopards defeated Oglethorpe 45-10 on the road. A sluggish start, according to coach Jerry King, turned into a flurry of scoring at the end of the first quarter, as Banks led 11-0. Banks outscored the Lady Patriots again before the break, 9-2.
“We did a good job pressuring them and limiting their opportunities as they shot only eight shots in the first half. We got a lot of girls playing time in this one,” said King.
Banks continued to outscore Oglethorpe and cruised to the 45-10 victory. The Lady Leopards still showed signs of struggling at the line, going 6-for-13 on free throws, but was only a minor negative overall from the win.
