The Lady Mavericks forced eight early turnovers and never let up in a 55-23 District 4-AAA win over Gibbs Thursday night at home.
“I think we forced 38 turnovers in the game,” Lady Mavs head coach Mitch Cupples said. “I challenged the girls a little bit to come out and set the tone, and they did a good job doing that. They probably did the best job of that that they’ve done all year.”
Anderson County jumped out to an 18-6 lead in the first quarter and never looked back. The Lady Mavericks led 33-19 at halftime and extended their advantage to 55-20 by the end of the third quarter, triggering a running clock in the final frame.
Bethany Lowe finished with 15 points to lead the Lady Mavericks. Macy Basford added 14, and sophomore Ashton Thurman posted a career-high 11 points.
“I had a sophomore, Ashton Thurman, score a career high,” Cupples said. “She had 11 points and played her best game on varsity.”
Due to inclement weather, Anderson County’s scheduled games against Union County (Friday), Oneida (Monday) and Powell (Tuesday) were postponed.
