What worked for the Lady Bulldogs on Friday night, worked again on Tuesday.
Gallatin’s girls pressed and rebounded their way to a second straight victory over King City on Tuesday, downing the Lady Wildkats, 48-20, to raise their season record to 17-5.
Gallatin’s girls came through with back-to-back victories over King City in a rare occasion that pitted the two schools against each other on a Friday and Tuesday.
Gallatin forced 12 first half turnovers and that allowed the Lady Bulldogs to build a 29-9 cushion by intermission. A 12-2 run, fueled offensively by Taylor Sloan, Karley Salmon and Hayley Michael, pushed the GHS lead to 41-13 with less than a minute left in the third period.
Michael shot 70% from the field and led the Lady Bulldogs with 15 points. Salmon chipped in 11 points and Sloan finished with nine for Gallatin.
