The Bellefontaine Chieftains are on the road again on Tuesday and plays the Meadowdale Lions at 5:30 p.m. on February 20th. Hopefully Bellefontaine focused on turnovers this week since the team gave up eight on Wednesday.
Last Wednesday, Bellefontaine didn't have too much trouble with Carlisle on the road as they won 45-29. 45 seems to be a good number for Bellefontaine as the squad scooped up a win with the same number of points in their previous game.
Lexi Robinson continued her habit of posting crazy stat lines, almost dropping a double-double on 15 points and nine rebounds. Quinlan Zedeker was another key contributor, scoring ten points along with two steals.
Meanwhile, Meadowdale came tearing into two weeks ago's contest with seven straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 28.9 points) and they left with even more momentum. They took down Piqua 59-41. The high-flying offensive effort was a huge turnaround for Meadowdale considering their two-point performance the contest before.
Zhieyah Rolack was her usual excellent self, dropping a double-double on 29 points and 17 rebounds. Rolack is crushing the point category: she's posted at least 16 every time she's taken the court this season. The team also got some help courtesy of Janiyah Middlebrook, who scored 15 points along with six rebounds and two blocks.
Bellefontaine pushed their record up to 12-11 with that victory, which was their third straight on the road. Meadowdale's record is now 19-2.
This contest is one where the number of possessions is likely to be a big factor: Bellefontaine have been smashing the glass this season, having averaged 25.1 rebounds per game. However, it's not like Meadowdale struggles in that department as they've been averaging 34.4 rebounds per game. Given these competing strengths, it'll be interesting to see how their clash plays out.
Bellefontaine might still be hurting after the 74-51 loss they got from Meadowdale in their previous meeting back in December of 2014. Thankfully for Bellefontaine, Ja'la Henderson (who dropped a double-double on 34 points and 11 steals) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
