0

The Buckeye Valley girls basketball team continued its domination of the CBL Tuesday night in Delaware, racing out to a 28-2 lead it parlayed into a 55-20 league win over visiting Grandview Heights.

The game was tied 2-2 a minute into things. Fast forward to the middle of the second quarter, though, and the Barons found themselves up 28-2 thanks to a massive 26-0 run.

Carlie Osborne broke the early deadlock with back-to-back buckets to make it a 6-2 game with 4:48 left in the first.

Emily Huston added to the early edge with a three-pointer set up by a Ella Hazelrigg steal and, after two more hoops from Osborne and a pair of Hazelrigg free throws, BV (9-2, 6-0) found itself up 15-2 by the end of the opening quarter.

Lina Wagner got in on the act early in the second, with her steal and hoop ballooning the lead to 17-2 before Hazelrigg and Hazely Wagner drilled back-to-back triples to extend the run, and lead, even more.

Grandview (4-4, 2-3) stopped the bleeding with a hoop by Tatum Lusher, and Kendall Longbrake hit back-to-back threes shortly after, but the damage was done.

BV led 34-12 at halftime and, after winning the third 12-8, blanked Grandview 9-0 in the fourth to smooth out the scoring summary.

Osborne and Huston led a balanced Baron attack with 14 points apiece. Hazelrigg added 13 while Lina and Hazely Wagner added five each.
