With a 46-19 victory over Riverside on Tuesday night the Boiling Springs Lady Bulldogs held on to their second place spot in Region II-5A and set up a key region matchup against first place Dorman on Friday night.
"I was proud of how the girls played tonight," said Bulldogs head coach Dwayne Lytle. "It makes me really excited about Friday night against Dorman." The Bulldogs defense was key to their victory on Tuesday night as they held Riverside to only eight points through the first three quarters, in fact holding the Warriors to a total of only two points over the second and third quarters, On offense Boiling Springs got double digit scoring nights from junior Arissa Edwards who scored twelve points for the Bulldogs and got another key performance from senior Amaya Richardson who led the Bulldogs with thirteen points on Tuesday night. The offensive output is just another impressive performance this season from Richardson who Coach Lytle said has been very important to the Bulldogs run in region play this year. "Amaya has been on fire for us this year," said Coach Lytle. "She played another key role tonight and she will key for us in the game on Friday night." Not long after the Bulldogs victory they got word that region leader Dorman had suffered their first region loss of the season against Hillcrest on Tuesday night putting the Bulldogs just two games behind the Cavaliers in the region standings. The victory improves the Lady Bulldogs record to 13-6 overall and 8-3 in region play while the Cavaliers sit at 10-1 in region play. The Bulldogs know that they will need help down the stretch to make the region race interesting but Boiling Springs knows for anything else to matter that they will have to take care of what they can control on Friday night. "It's going to be a big region game on Friday night," said Coach Lytle. "We just found out about Hillcrest beating Dorman and if we could grab a victory over Dorman at their place on Friday night it would be a huge win for this program." In the boys game the Boiling Springs offense could never find it's rhythm against a tough Riverside defense as they fell to the Warriors 50-26 on Tuesday night. The Bulldogs were led on offense by Zach Baldinelli and Trayson Fowler who both scored seven points a piece against the Warriors. Both Boiling Springs teams will travel to Dorman on Friday night before finishing up regular season play next week with a home game against Hillcrest on Tuesday night and a road contest against Gaffney next Friday.
