Clinton County 48

Monticello 78

The Clinton County Lady Bulldogs traveled to Wayne County to take on the Monticello Lady Trojans Monday night in a game that would see Monticello take the win, 78-48.

“I feel like I have yet to deserve a technical I’ve got. I was setting back in a two-three zone and they were pressing,” Adams said. “They were playing the game on 84 feet of floor and we were playing on 42 feet of floor, but somehow they shot 20 more free throws than we did.”

Adams said what beat the Lady Dawgs Monday night, was the same thing that has beat them all year … turnovers and keeping the other team off the offensive boards.

“We had 28 turnovers and allowed them to get 22 offensive rebounds,” Adams said. “We basically shot the same percentage, but when you get to shoot 20 more times I don’t care what percentage you shoot, you’re not going to win.”

Clinton County was down at the half, 36-19 and cut the lead to six points during the third quarter.

“We went on a 13-2 run to open up the second half,” Adams said.

Even though the Lady Dawgs played well during the first part of the third quarter, Monticello took control after that and out scored the Lady Dawgs 40-16 for the remainder of the game.

The Lady Dawgs move to 4-22 on the year with the 78-48 loss.

The Lady Falcons rank second in the region as far as records are concerned at 19-6 on the year. Monroe County also lost in the finals of the 2011 Touchstone Energy All “A” Classic held two weeks ago in Richmond, KY.

The game Friday night seemed like just another day at the office for the Lady Falcons.

The Lady Bulldogs didn’t make its first field goal until Monroe County has scored 16 points in the first quarter.

With 3:50 on the clock, Stevi Morgan scored a basket to cut the Monroe County lead to 14 points, 18-4, followed by a three pointer from Breonia Thurman to cut the lead to 11 points.

Clinton County finished the quarter by scoring 11 points, but Monroe County held control of the game and led at the end of the first, 26-11.

The Lady Bulldogs continued to struggle in the second quarter as Monroe County completely controlled the flow of the game.

Monroe County scored a total of 17 points in the second quarter while holding the Lady Bulldogs to only five points, for a 43-16 halftime lead.

Midway through the third quarter, Monroe County reached a 30 point lead, 49-19. Monroe County didn’t let up until the end of the third quarter, finishing with a 67-25 lead over the Lady Dawgs.

The final quarter of the game went much like the first three quarters, with Monroe County adding to its existing lead.

Clinton County finished the game by scoring 10 points in the fourth quarter, but Monroe County’s damage had already been done as the Lady Dawgs fell by a final score of 78-35.
