Greenbrier Crushes Apalachee to Begin a Busy Week
Greenbrier and Aquinas will meet Tuesday as the schools hope to play 3 and 4 games respectively this week, health concerns permitting.
Trinity Barrow – Greenbrier – November, 2019
Greenbrier tipped off a new year of local high school hoops Saturday with an overwhelming 64-8 region win over Apalachee, starting a January through March stretch in which league play, and eventually region tournament and state playoff action (of course along with the public health travails of the day), will define the second half of the season.
Junior Brooklyn Begley scored 15 points on 5 made three pointers to lead the rout, which featured a 45-0 Lady Wolfpack run. Sophomore Trinity Barrow added 12 points and 5 steals, and fellow sophomore Caitlin Staley added 9.
| School | 1Q | 2Q | 3Q | 4Q | Final |
| Greenbrier | 25 | 13 | 18 | 8 | 64 |
| Apalachee | 2 | 0 | 4 | 2 | 8 |
Greenbrier – Trinity Barrow 5 2-2 12, Nadia Holliman 1 0-0 2, La’Miya Blake 1 0-0 2, Brooklyn Begley 5 0-0 15, Jada McCladdie 1 0-0 2, Ayana Staley 2 0-0 4, Sydney Peake 1 0-0 3, Caitlin Staley 4 1-2 9, Jessica Heard 1 0-0 2, Jah’Laila Owens 3 1-1 7, Maya Anderson 3 0-0 6. Totals: 27 4-5 64.
Apalachee – Centerria Marks 1 0-0 3, Jasmine Williams 1 3-4 5. Totals: 2 3-4 8.
Three-point goals Greenbrier: 6 (Begley 5, Peake). Apalachee: 1 (Marks).
Aquinas’s girls and boys teams each opened their region slate Saturday, but both teams fell short against Savannah Country Day. The Fighting Irish will take to the court again Tuesday in a non region matchup against Greenbrier before both teams finish a busy week (health concerns permitting) which will include three more games after Tuesday for Greenbrier, and two more for Aquinas.
Here are the scoring details from Aquinas’s doubleheader against Savannah Country Day Saturday.
