Priceville Basketball: Lady Bulldogs Get 20th Win

By Russell Frye, For the Enquirer

Priceville traveled to Moulton on Monday Night looking to bounce back from Saturday night’s loss in the Morgan County Tournament’s Championship game.

Coach Terri Nelson was looking to see how her team would respond after disappointment.

She got the response she was expecting as the Lady Bulldogs jumped out to a 12-0 run to start the game.

Lawrence County cut the lead to 10 as the first quarter ended but were unable to get any closer as the Lady Bulldogs pulled away to win 59-40.

The Lady Bulldogs won their twentieth game of the year.  “We’re so excited to get number 20,” said Nelson. “This was one of our goals this year!”

Senior Kathleen Wheeler finished the game with 24 points, five rebounds, five steals, and four assists to lead Priceville. Skyler Benson added 14 points, eight rebounds, five steals, two assists, and two blocks while Jenna Walker contributed eight points, eight assists, four rebounds, and three steals.

“I am proud of how Kat, Skyler, and Jenna responded tonight. They all contributed in every possible way to lead the team,” said Nelson.

Priceville also got points from Abigail Garrison (4), Zoey Benson (3), Mauriene Clark (3), Brianna Marquette (2) and Olivia Gann (1) in the 19 point victory.

The Lady Bulldogs are scheduled to play at Falkville tonight and close out the regular season with Ardmore at home on Thursday night.
