Mashayla Cecil and Aniya Cotton scored or assisted on 13 of the teams’ 16 points in the quarter, while Catholic only scored five, giving the Bulldogs a 36-25 lead at the half.

Mashayla Cecil finished with 18 points and 4 rebounds. Anaiyah Cotton finished with 15 points and 7 rebounds. Autumn Herriford finished with 12 points and 5 rebounds.
