Cougars win against Warriors

Wednesday, January 25, 2012

MARSHALL -- The North Putnam girls' basketball team defeated Turkey Run 53-40 Tuesday.

LeeAnn Davis and Morgan Robinson led the Cougars with 14 points, with Kensy Asbell chipping in 13 points. Bethany Wiatt scored nine points and Madi Asbell contributed three points in the win.

The Cougars rebounded from a rough first half and put together a good second half to get the win.

"We just didn't play very well in the first half. We got off to a pretty good start, but we couldn't finish the half. We went into the locker room down one at halftime and came back and played better the second half. We forced them out of their zone and made them play man-to-man and we kind of pulled away from there," head coach Jim Brothers said.

North Putnam will travel to Greencastle Friday at 6 p.m.
