The Terry Bulldogs will be taking part in a tournament against the Starkville Yellowjackets at 4:30 p.m. on Monday. Terry is looking to tack on another W to their seven-game streak on the road dating back to last season.
Last Thursday, Terry was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap as they fell 49-44 to Northwest Rankin. The Bulldogs have struggled against the Cougars recently, as the game was their seventh consecutive lost matchup.
Terry's loss shouldn't obscure the performances of Madison Jones, who almost dropped a triple-double on nine points, 11 rebounds, and 13 blocks, and Marleya Myers, who went 6 for 11 en route to 17 points plus seven rebounds and four steals. Jones is crushing it when it comes to blocks: she's posted at least two every time she's taken the court this season. Maleah Young was another key player, scoring seven points plus seven rebounds and two steals.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Starkville). They breezed by Itawamba Agricultural to the tune of 59-30 on Tuesday. For those keeping track at home, that's the biggest victory the Yellowjackets have posted since February 5th.
Starkville's win bumped their record up to 4-2. As for Terry, their defeat dropped their record down to an identical 4-2.
Terry ended up a good deal behind Starkville in their previous meeting back in December of 2023, losing 38-23. Thankfully for Terry, Ashlyn Johnson (who went 5 for 10 en route to 16 points plus five 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.
