Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Bennett). They breezed by the Sheridan Rams to the tune of 71-5 on Tuesday. Given the Tigers' advantage in MaxPreps' Colorado basketball rankings (they are ranked 159th, while the Rams are ranked 328th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Bennett's success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Jessica Venneberg led the charge by almost dropping a double-double on nine points and ten assists. Those ten assists gave Venneberg a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Emilee Venneberg, who went 5 of 6 on her way to 11 points in addition to five boards and three steals.
Jessica wasn't the only one working in the assists department: Bennett was working as a unit and finished the game with 20 assists. That's the most assists they've managed all season.
The victory (which was Bennett's third in a row) raised their record to 6-6. Those victories came thanks to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 21.3 points per game. As for Sheridan, they are on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 2-8.
