The Brady Bulldogs had already won eight in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 14.5 points), and they went ahead and made it nine on Friday. They snuck past Blanco with a 44-40 victory. That result was just more of the same for these two, as Brady also won the last time the pair played back in January.
Lola Whisenhunt continued her habit of posting crazy stat lines, scoring 14 points along with five steals. Amerie Stidham was another key contributor, scoring ten points along with five rebounds and two steals.
When it comes to explaining why Blanco lost, one person who can't be blamed is Mina Broyles. Despite the final result, she dropped a double-double on 14 points and ten rebounds. Broyles is crushing the steal category: she's posted at least two every time she's taken the court this season. Another player making a difference was Kaylee Romero, who scored 11 points along with six rebounds and three steals.
Brady is on a roll lately: they've won ten of their last 13 matchups, which provided a massive bump to their 18-16 record this season. As for Blanco, their defeat dropped their record down to 15-17.
Brady will head out on the road to face off against the Buffaloes at 6:15 p.m. on Tuesday. The timing isn't great for Florence: they have been struggling with 13 straight losses at home, while the Bulldogs have snatched up four consecutive wins on the road. Blanco will take on the Yellowjackets at 6:15 p.m. on Tuesday. The matchup should be an exciting one, as these teams are closely ranked in Texas (Llano is ranked 906th, while the Panthers are ranked 915th).
