0

All four returning starters scored in double figures as the Delaware Christian girls basketball team rolled to a 72-17 MOCAL win over Northside Christian Friday in Delaware.

“We shot well — 48 percent from the field and 88 percent from the free-throw line — and played much better defense tonight,” DCS coach Jackie Boggs said.

Lyssi Snouffer had another monster night, finishing with 24 points, 22 rebounds, four steals and five assists. Other standouts included Anna Fuller (16 points, four steals), Abbi Maurer (12 points, seven rebounds, five steals, five assists) and Hannah Maurer (12 points, four rebounds).

The Eagles led 17-5 after the first quarter and owned a commanding 40-5 lead at halftime after blanking the visitors 23-0 in the second. They outscored Northside 16-6 in each of the final two quarters to smooth out the scoring summary.

Delaware Christian returns to action Tuesday at Columbus School for Girls. Tip is set for 6 p.m.

Brody Lawhun led a group of nine different Golden Eagle scorers, knocking down five triples on the way to a 21-point night to lead Big Walnut to a convincing 71-29 OCC win over host Franklin Heights Friday in Columbus.

Hilliard Bradley 51, Delaware Hayes 43

Nate Griggs poured in a game-high 20 points, including 17 in the second half, and Terin Kinsway added 13, but it wasn’t enough to knock off the first-place Jaguars Friday in Delaware.

Bradley made its move early, outscoring Hayes 11-5 in the first quarter and 13-6 in the second. The Pacers used a 16-10 third as part of a 32-17 second-half run to get back into the thick of things, but the Jags held on with a steady fourth.
