Bloomburg

Bloomburg’s varsity girls’ basketball team has been rolling to kick off the new season.

On Nov. 3 the Lady Wildcats thumped Redwater 50-12 and followed that up with a 64-30 thrashing of Harts Bluff on Nov. 7.

On Nov. 10, the Lady ’Cats breezed by county foe Atlanta 56-38 with Cassie Glasgow posting 31 points and 10 rebounds, Kaleigh Glasgow pouring in 11 points and Jacee Glasgow recording 12 points, seven assists and seven steals.

In the game the Lady Wildcats as a team Knocked down nine 3’s. With that win Bloomburg is 3-0 and ranked just outside the top 20 in Class 1A. In the TGCA poll the Lady Wildcats are ranked ninth.

With play like that expect that ranking to change quickly.
