South Callaway girls roll past Linn for SMC victory

Freshman point guard Adrian Mann posted a game-high 17 points in the Lady Bulldogs' 60-29 Show-Me Conference rout of the Lady Wildcats on Thursday night.

Sophomore guard Nicole Horstman scored all 11 of her points in the first quarter to key a strong start for South Callaway (10-5, 6-1 SMC).

"I thought really and truly we came out with a lot of energy," Lady Bulldogs head coach Darren Humphrey said. "We had a super amount of energy tonight; we had some kids who were sick this week and fighting flus and colds, and they just came out and gave it their all."

Sophomore center Konnor Arrowood logged 12 points for South Callaway.

Hayley Dorton tallied 12 points to lead Linn.

The Lady Bulldogs (6-1) prevailed 21-6 in the junior varsity game. Freshman guard Ashley Potter totalled a team-high nine points and junior guard Ashley Miller added seven.

The Lady Bulldogs earned the third seed for the 31st-annual Sturgeon Tournament and will play No. 6 New Franklin in the first round at 7:30 p.m. Monday.

"If we can take a little bit of this momentum and take it out into the first game of the tournament, we'll be just fine," Humphrey said.
