After falling to Brashier Middle College on Tuesday night on a last second shot at home the Chesnee girls basketball team returned the favor on Thursday night as they picked up a 32-30 road victory over the Bengals.
In a game that was moved up to Thursday because of expected inclement weather on Friday, Brashier took over from where they left off Tuesday and jumped out to a 10-8 lead at the end of the first quarter behind five points from Caroline Roller. Chesnee was led in the quarter by senior Jessa Beach who scored four of the team's eight points in the quarter. The second quarter saw Chesnee was able to cut into the Brashier lead as they outscored the Bengals 9-8 in the quarter to put the halftime lead at 18-17 in favor of the Bengals. Chesnee had four different players score in the quarter with Jamekia Evans coming up with a big three pointer that gave the Eagles the advantage in the quarter. After halftime both teams struggled to find the basket but Brashier was able to push their advantage back to three points as they outscored the Eagles 6-5 in the quarter to hold a 24-22 lead heading into the final quarter. In the fourth quarter the Eagles used their strong pressure defense to attack the Bengals and used a 10-6 run in the fourth quarter to capture the victory and even out the series between the two region opponents. The Eagles got a big night from their post players as Jessa Beach led Chesnee in scoring with ten points while Brie Smith added ten rebounds to go along with her six points. Caroline Roller led the Bengals and all scorers on Thursday night with twelve points. In the boy's game Chesnee fell 53-38 on Thursday night after losing a tough one in overtime 65-62 on Tuesday night. Chesnee will return to action on Tuesday in a home game against St. Joseph’s in another region matchup. Comments are closed.
