ENTERPRISE Enterprise lost a defensive gamble against Bay Springs on Thursday night, suffering a season ending 77-33 loss in the quarterfinals of the Division 7-2A Tournament.
In the other boys' tournament game on Thursday, Bassfield beat Seminary 74-42. The two girls' games saw Bassfield beat Clarkdale 65-46 and Heidelberg down Seminary 69-17.
The tournament's hosts played much of their contest against Bay Springs in a 3-2 zone, pressing shooters to the outside and allowing few penetrations.
Trailing by 10 less than two minutes into the second quarter, David D'Angelo hit two free throws to bring Enterprise within 22-14. It was the last time Bay Springs led by fewer than 10, though.
Two Bay Springs layups in the first half's final 20 seconds left Enterprise trailing 44-25 at halftime, and Bay Springs' defense built a 39-point lead after holding Enterprise scoreless in the third quarter.
Dennis Watson scored a team-high 10 points for Enterprise, which finished 3-22 but loses just two players to graduation.
Bay Springs' Ben Jones, who drained six 3-pointers, led all scorers with 20 points.
Bassfield (boys) 74
Seminary 42
Bassfield built a 19-point lead in the first quarter before running away from Seminary 74-42.
Marves Fairley tallied a game-high 18 points for Bassfield, the 7-2A Tournament's third seed. Kenny Aultman scored 16 points and Marcus Pitts had 11 for the Yellowjackets, which led 41-23 at halftime.
Bassfield (girls) 65
Clarkdale 46
Clarkdale's season came to an end Thursday night with a 65-46 loss to Bassfield in the 7-2A Tournament.
Bassfield, the tournament's No. 3 seed, leaped out to a 38-25 halftime lead and never looked back. The Lady Yellowjackets built a 17-point lead early at the end of the third quarter before winning by 19.
Clarkdale was led by Kristi Walker's 13 points. Felicia Kirksey scored 11 points.
Heidelberg (girls) 69
Seminary 17
Heidelberg used a balanced offense and an air-tight defense to out-pace Seminary 69-17.
Despite the 52-point winning margin, none of the Lady Oilers scored in double figures.
Latoya Guston led Heidelberg with nine points, while April Baker, Tabitha Singleton and Shawana Stevens each scored eight points.
Heidelberg led 49-13 at halftime, then yielded just four points in the third quarter and none in the fourth.
