What is worse than getting beat by 46 points? Getting beat 58 points by the same team one week later.
That was the case for the Tunica Institute girls basketball team as they fell hard to North Delta 66-8 Tuesday night in the Lady Green Waves home opener. North Delta defeated the Blue Devils 63-17 in Tunica last Monday night in the first matchup between the two schools.
In a game that was basically over within the first four minutes, North Delta jumped out to a 14-0 lead after the first quarter. The lead grew to 24-0 before Tunica scored their first points with 2:30 left in the first half. Bradi Beard scored eight of her game-high 16 points in the first quarter as the Green Wave took a 26-4 halftime lead. The second half was played using an eight-minute running clock.
Lauren Kimzey followed Beard in scoring with nine points as ten Green Wave players cracked the scoring column. Laci DuBravec registered eight points while Linsey Hebert and Kourtney Norris added seven points. Sara Waldrip chipped in six points while Katelyn Still added five including a halfcourt buzzer-beating three pointer at the end of the third period. Other scorers included Jordan Pointer with Hanna Greenlee and Hannah Waldrip with two points each.
North Delta, (5-3), shot 37-of 65 from the floor for 57 percent while turning over the ball seven times. Tunica meanwhile turned the ball over 22 times on 4-of-28 shooting
Tonight, North Delta will host Magnolia Heights in final basketball action before the Thanksgiving holidays. Games start at 2 p.m. with the seventh girls game.
