BAINBRIDGE – The Bainbridge-Guilford girls’ varsity basketball team showed why they have gone undefeated thus in their 2016-17 campaign in a display of offensive and defensive artistry. B-G’s dominating offensive effort suffocated the girls of Greene – scoring 18 and 20 points in the first and third quarters. While the Greene defense prevented the offensive damage of the host Bobcats in the even periods of play, they failed to get any offensive rhythm going to combat their foes.
The Bobcats drew first blood on the visiting Trojans scoring the first points of the contest 36 seconds after the opening tip-off. From there, the Bobcats offensive onslaught could not be contained, scoring at will all while not allowing a Trojan field goal until 3:21 left in the first quarter. With the first quarter of play ending 18-5 with the lead in favor of the home team, the Trojans looked to crawl back into the ball game.
The second quarter defensively went as planned for the Trojans – only allowing the Bobcats to score half of their first quarter totals. However, B-G one-upped Greene’s defensive effort by not allowing a field goal for the visitors for the entirety of the second period. With the score at half-time 27-6, the Bobcats just needed to close out the game.
The second half of play saw B-G outscore the visiting Trojans 29-14, with an explosion of 20 points coming in the opening period of the second half. Notably, the Trojans stopped the bleeding in the final period of the game by once again only maintaining the Bobcats to nine points in the quarter.
B-G's Megan Palmatier scored a game-high 19 points, with Abigail Selfridge scoring 18 and pulling down a game high 15 rebounds. Greene’s Sophia Brown led with four points, with Nicole Flohr and Emma Smith each scoring three in the loss.
The Bobcats (16-0) can clinch the MAC regular season title later on this evening, Feb. 7, at 7 p.m. when they visit the Warriors of Sidney. Greene will see action later on tonight as well, when they host Unadilla Valley at 7:15 p.m.
