Locals advance to regional tournament play
Feb. 12—When it was time to turn up the heat, these ladies set the gym on fire.
A-No. 3 Quinton hosted Dewar Saturday in Class A District championship action, where the green and white used long-range sharpshooting and stifling defense to take a dominant 77-38 win and the district crown.
Dewar got on the board first, but it didn't take long before Aliviah Daniels nailed a triple to break the ice for Quinton. Lila Gragg added a hard-earned bucket followed by a triple from Bailey Purdom, putting the green and white out front.
Soon, Quinton began lighting up the scoreboard — using three-point shots from Purdom and Daniels to spark a 12-0 run to end the quarter for a 22-13 lead.
In the second quarter, a bucket from Haddie Lindley and free throws from Daniels got Quinton moving offensively once more. Daniels and Purdom continued their red-hot long-range shooting streak, giving Quinton a massive 44-19 lead at the half.
Quinton rattled off a massive run out of the locker room, scoring 19 unanswered points via Lindley, Purdom, Daniels, and Shaylee Black on the way to a 63-30 lead after three quarters.
With the floodgates fully open, Quinton was able to ride the current of momentum to the win and advance to the regional tournament in the winner's bracket.
Purdom led the way with 30 points on the night, followed by Daniels with 25 points, Lindley with 13 points, Gragg and Black with three points each, and Paislee Powell with two points.
Next up, Quinton will host its own regional — with the first game against Depew scheduled for Thursday at 6 p.m.
