With Boiling Springs losing their leading scorer early in the game it opened up an opportunity for another player to step up and Cam Earls done just that as he led the Bulldogs to their third win over Broome in three weeks with a 61-46 victory on Friday night. Boiling Springs jumped out to an early 8-2 lead over the Centurions by using a strong pressure defense on their way to a 15-6 first quarter lead. The Bulldogs continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter outscoring the Centurions 25-16 in the quarter on their way to a 40-22 halftime lead. While the Bulldogs defense helped lead to turnovers it was Cam Earls who was finding the basket on the other end as he scored sixteen of his game high twenty-five points in the first half while also adding nine rebounds in the game. The third quarter saw the Bulldogs struggle from the field as they were outscored 12-6 in the third quarter as Broome's Adam Comer scored eight of his team high fourteen points in the quarter. The Bulldogs rebounded in the fourth quarter outscoring Broome 15-10 in the quarter with Earls once again leading the way with seven of the fifteen points. Jordan Askew had eight points for the Bulldogs while Trey McManus and Khalil Brown also added seven points themselves. The Bulldogs will travel to Chesnee on Monday night before opening region play on Tuesday night when the Spartanburg Vikings travel to Boiling Springs. Lady Bulldogs Win Low Scoring GameOn Friday night the Boiling Springs Bulldogs proved that while they love to play a fast paced game they can also win one when it's slowed down as they defeated Broome 26-21 in front of a large crowd at the Centurions gym. "Broome is a well coached team and they came really prepared tonight," said Bulldogs head coach Dwayne Lytle. "They had us and really slowed us down. They took away our two top scorers and it took us a minute to figure it out but we were able to pick up a tough victory." The first half was a very low scoring affair as the Bulldogs led Broome 6-5 at the end of the first quarter and were trailing 12-10 late in the second quarter. With the Bulldogs trailing 12-10 with just seconds left in the half Mehan Scharpenberg came up with a big three pointer from the right side of the court giving Boiling Springs a 13-12 lead at halftime. Scharpenberg led the Bulldogs in the first half scoring five of their thirteen first half points. Coming out of halftime the Bulldogs got a little breathing room as D'Marria Glenn picked up two big baskets for Boiling Springs giving them a 17-12 lead on their way to a 20-12 lead when the buzzer sounded to mark the end of the third quarter. ""We told D'Marria that the game was going to have to be won down low," said Lytle. "They were taking away our outside game and she had to be a presence for us. I was proud of how she stepped up and made her presence known on the block." The Centurions outscored the Bulldogs 7-6 in the final quarter but couldn't cut into the Boiling Springs lead as they captured a hard fought victory. Scharpenberg and Glenn both led the way scoring for the Bulldogs on Friday night as they each had nine points a piece. The Centurions were led by Tashayla Miller who scored six points for Broome. The Bulldogs will travel to Chesnee on Monday night before opening region play on Tuesday night when the Spartanburg Vikings travel to Boiling Springs.
