Fairview 50 – East Lawrence 22 (varsity girls)
A three from both Morgan Lindsay and Katie Ball helped Fairview jump out to an 8-3 lead and four points from Jaycee Aleman, later followed by a trey by Molly McKelvy, made it 15-5 after one. East Lawrence quickly made it a six-point game to start out the second period, but the Lady Aggies quickly broke out of a cold streak in a big way when a Daisy Manasco three helped jump-start a 10-0 run that pushed the lead back to double-figures and Fairview wound up taking a 25-13 lead into the locker room.
The Lady Aggies broke the game wide open to start out the second half as they scored the first 13 points of the third period to stretch their lead to 38-13 and took a 40-15 lead into the final period. Their defense was swarming East Lawrence from start to finish, getting numerous turnovers, and that was another key reason why Fairview wound up taking the game 50-22.
McKelvy finished with 12 points for Fairview (3-0). Maci Yeager added 10 points and Emma Garcia ended up with nine. Ball, Lindsay and Manasco each added five and Aleman chipped in with four. The Lady Aggies will participate in the Encore Classic at Hartselle on Saturday.
