Carroll boys 60, Kirk Academy 35
The Rebels started fast and rolled to a 25-point win over the Raiders last week.
Carroll jumped out to a 15-4 lead in the first period and outscored Kirk 15-9 in the second to lead 30-13 at the half. Carroll extended the lead in the third period, outscoring Kirk 17-9 to lead 47-22 going to the fourth. Each team scored 13 points in the fourth period for the final margin.
Noah Beck led the Rebels with 26 points while Landon Grantham had 12 points. Drake Dunn and Mathis Beck each had six points apiece.
The boys are a very coachable group, and they are buying in to my vision for the team,” Dalton said. “We have only had a few practices and two games, but I believe the boys can because a very good team. We can play fast and be aggressive defensively, so it should be a fun season. We have a lot of work to do defensively, but the effort and attitude is there. I’m looking forward to seeing how far we can go this season.”
Kirk Academy girls 48, Carroll 25
The Lady Raiders had little trouble with the Lady Rebels as they took a 23-point win.
Kirk jumped out to a 16-5 lead and then outscored Carroll 19-0 in the second to lead 35-5 at the half. Kirk then outscored Carroll 13-10 in the third to lead 48-15 going to the fourth. Carroll took the fourth period 10-0 for the final margin.
Anna Laken Taylor led Carroll with eight points while Ann Shelby Whitworth and Bella Carter each had five points apiece.
“The varsity girls have made major strides in a short amount of time,” Dalton said. “We struggled offensively and defensively early, but they are learning that great defense helps open everything up offensively. We are really becoming connected as a team, and I am very proud of the girls.”
