The Bauxite Lady Miners scored the first 13 points of the game in a 52-24 win over rival Glen Rose Lady Beavers in the first regular season game of the season on Tuesday at Dawson Gym in Bauxite.
“First game I just didn’t want us to come out a little amped up, not be able to hit any shots or let them stay in for too long,” Bauxite Coach Josh Harrison said. “I felt like if we could get on them quick it could kind of get our butterflies out. We did a good job of that.”
