d weekend success
LINTON - The Running Bucs'
opened their 2014-15 season with a
pair of wins last weekend using a
balanced scoring attack and a shut-
down defense.
The Bucs came out with thei T tra-
ditional aggressive full-court 'man
defense that caused 19 first half
turnovers for the Lady Lions :from
Linton. In that stretch, the Butcca-
neers used a balanced attack on of-
fense with seven players who
accounted for 27 first half points
compared to the Lions' 18.
The lead at half-time was 2'7-18
with Brooklynn Zachmann scoring
eight of her team's high of 12. BHS
came out strong in the third quarter,
scoring another 15 points with Baili
Nielsen leading the way by scouring
all seven of her game points in that
quarter. The score at the end of" the

.third was 42-22 as Linton-HMB dug
themselves a hole by managing only
four points for the quarter.
The Running Bucs picked up
their first win of the season 57-34
with a total team effort. They had
nine players who entered the scoring
column for the game. Brooklynn
Zachmann was the only player scor-
ing in double-figures for the Bucca-
neers. Tayrn Hotter came off the
bench and scored nine points fol-
lowed by senior guard Taylor Abra-
ham with eight and Baili Nielson,
seven, respectively.
It was a good win for the Bucs as
winning in Linton is not taken for
granted with their winning tradition
and strong program.
Beach 47, Napoleon 37
HAZELTON - On Saturday after-
noon, the Bucs had another tough
task to face: "pressing-running"
Napoleon Imperials. It is not an easy
task to come back and play in the
late morning and afternoon and es-
pecially the caliber of the Imperials.
Impressively, however, the Bucca-
neer's stuck together once again as a
team and their determination pre-
vailed.
The Lady Bucs again opened up
the game pressing, but after two easy
baskets by the Imperials the Bucs
