The CPC opener against visiting Reagan felt like the sun bursting through the clouds for Davie’s JV girls basketball team.
After starting 0-3, including a 52-26 loss at Northern Guilford on Dec. 4, the War Eagles broke into the win column with a 24-12 decision against the Raiders on Dec. 10.
“I am thankful we played like we needed to,” coach Lamar Russell said. “Praise the Lord, we got a win.”
The War Eagles only managed seven points in the first half, but they made up for that with a big third quarter. Zuria Turner banged two 3-pointers and Kate Nicholson added one as Davie pounded Reagan 14-3 in the third, which created a 21-8 lead.
“I had (Turner) on the bench in the first half,” Russell said. “But when she came in in the second half, she hit back-to-back 3s, and from there it was like: ‘Let’s go.’ She came off the bench and fired away. That’s what I’ve been asking them to do. Then we turned it on and started playing.”
Turner paced Davie with those six points. Davie got three each from Lucy Portman, Sarenity Miller, Emily Cordova, Nicholson and Audrina Bledsoe.
“(Bledsoe) can play anywhere on the floor,” Russell said. “Lucy has been another spark for us. She was a spark at Northern Guilford coming off the bench and I started her this game.”
Davie 24, Reagan 12 – Zuria Turner 6, Lucy Portman 3, Sarenity Miller 3, Emily Cordova 3, Kate Nicholson 3, Audrina Bledsoe 3, Mabyn Morris 2, Zahmirah Summers 1.
