Salmon, who finished with 28 points and just one point off her career high, shot 83% inside the three-point arc and nearly 67% (6of 9) from long range shots. She scored 20 of Gallatin’s first 33 points into the early third quarter.
Gallatin sprinted to a 15-3 lead in the first period on three Salmon buckets, including two treys, two Cora Stout field goals and another from Hayley Michael. The Lady Panthers rallied in the second quarter with a 9-0 run to pull within 24-17, but Salmon tacked on seven points early in the third as the Lady Bulldogs began pulling away.
Stout also contributed a 50% scoring mark from the field. She hit 5-of-10 shots for 10 points to go along with seven rebounds. Michael added seven points for Gallatin, which upped its record to 9-2. Taylor Sloan chipped in six points and pulled down a team-high 10 rebounds for the Lady Bulldogs.
The Lady Bulldogs will look for their third GRC East win of the season next Tuesday at Maysville. Gallatin will host two-time defending GRC champ South Harrison one week from Friday during Courtwarming festivities.
