Maya Ausmus scored 17 points in the win while Lauren McGeorge added 15 points.
Gracie Jo Wilder led Bell County with an 18-point scoring effort, finishing with 18 points.
“We got off to a sluggish start but I thought our energy got better in the second half, especially on the defensive side of the ball. That gave us the opportunity to get out in transition some,” Bell County coach David Teague said. “We had some kids step up and make some shots when we needed it. Our scoring was balanced as we had 3 in double figures and had several other players do some good things and give some great minutes.”

Wilder and McGeorge both scored seven points apiece while the Lady Bobcats’ lead grew to 28-22 at halftime.
