ROUND TOP-CARMINE DEFEATS BUCKHOLTS 67-12 IN DISTRICT OPENER

It always seems like district comes earlier and earlier each year. On just their fourth game of the season, the Round Top-Carmine Cubettes opened district play last (Tuesday) night with a 67-12 victory over the Buckholts Lady Badgers.

RT-C started the game on a 22-1 run in the first quarter. The Cubettes also outscored Buckholts 18-2 in the second quarter to take a 42-3 lead into the locker room at halftime.

The Lady Badgers faired a little better in the second half, but it was still all RT-C, who won the third quarter 15-5, and the fourth quarter 12-4.

Tess Eilers led the way with 21 points. Meanwhile, Jill Eilers added 16 points and Kennedy Flinn finished with 13 points.

Round Top-Carmine improves to 2-2 overall and 1-0 in district. They will host the Burton Lady Panthers Friday evening at 5:30pm.
