FERRIDAY &8212; Ariana DeLaSalle led a balanced scoring attack with 17 points and Laura Guedon had 12 points as the ACCS Lady Rebels used a big first quarter to defeat Oak Forest 57-39 Tuesday afternoon at the Huntington Doubleheader.

Lady Rebels head coach Chuck Bauerle praised his players for their effort, energy and discipline in the game. Bauerle also was pleased that they did a better job on turnovers.

&8220;I thought we played well. I thought in the game against Tensas (Monday) we played with a lot of intensity, but we had a lot of turnovers. Today we had just 11 turnovers.&8221;

Led by DeLaSalle and Guedon, ACCS (7-1) dominated both ends of the court in the first quarter en route to a 15-4 lead at the end of the quarter.

&8220;Ariana had a big game inside and Laura had a good game,&8221; Bauerle said. &8220;I thought our press worked well. We shot the ball well. I thought we learned a lot the last few games.&8221;

Nicole Thornton led Oak Forest (2-5) with 17 points.

Huntington boys 84, Amite School Center 30

FERRIDAY &8212; With a final score like this, one would think that one or two players scored a lot of scored. That was not the case Tuesday night in the final game of the Huntington Doubleheader as the Hounds took a big lead, allowing head coach David Boydstun to unload his bench.

&8220;Our pressure defense was pretty strong,&8221; Boydstun said. &8220;We were able to jump out and get big leads and play a lot of kids.&8221;

Zack Brown led Huntington (3-1) with 13 points. Antonio Jordan had 12 points and Stan Hazlip contributed with 10 points. Altogether, 15 players scored at least one point for the Hounds, who took a 31-6 after one quarter of play and a 53-9 halftime lead.

&8220;We had a good night passing the ball, running off the ball on steals. We got some easy buckets. We shot the ball well from the perimeter,&8221; Boydstun said.

Huntington dominated this game from the start and the Rebels had no chance, especially considering that the Hounds have four post players that are at least six feet tall. And if that wasn&8217;t enough, Boydstun noted that Jordan has a 38-inch vertical leap.

&8220;All four of them are tough. Jordan can rebound with anybody,&8221; Boydstun said. &8220;We&8217;ve got a good rebounding group.&8221;

&8220;We played better than we did against Adams Christian,&8221; Lady Chiefs head coach Allen Crigler said. &8220;We&8217;re gradually getting it straight. We have seven players and we had two that fouled out. We&8217;re young and we&8217;re small.&8221;

Riverfield took advantage of Tensas&8217; youth and foul trouble, but not by much as it had a 10-7 edge in the fourth quarter.
