Tiger Cubs take down Warriors

Friday, December 30, 2011

The Greencastle girls' basketball team defeated Class 4A Evansville Harrison (6-3) 53-42 Thursday. The win moves GHS to 8-5 on the season.

Taylor Pruitt led the Tiger Cubs with 16 points, with Alex Basile adding nine. Jessi Covert scored eight points, while Callan Taylor, Hannah Wainman and Erynn Beck all chipped in six points each. Rayleigh Amis added two points.

GHS head coach Bradley Key noted the big performance he received from two of his players off the bench.

"I was real impressed with Erynn Beck and Jessi Covert coming off the bench and combined for 14 points. I thought the girls played pretty hard tonight throughout the entire game. It was kind of an up and down game -- it got a little rough. Going into the fourth quarter we were only up one," Key said.

On the night, Beck and Covert had four three-pointers between them.

Greencastle will next travel to Northview Tuesday at 7:30 p.m.
