Wayne girls, boys victorious

Balanced scoring from eight different Lady Bulldogs spelled a 41-29 Wayne victory over Dibble on the road last week.

Lorensa Martinez led the way with 10 points including a pair of three point bombs. Seven other Lady Bulldogs joined in on the scoring parade in a game they led from the first period on.

“We struggled to score early but had a much better second half,” head coach Josh Trent said. 

The Bulldogs, led by Talon Trent’s 20 points put together four players in double figures to cruise by the Savages, 65-42. Trent scored a pair of threes from down town in the contest.

Both Ethan Mullins and Brannon Lewelling stuffed the strings for a dozen with Kaleb Madden nipping at their heels with 11 points.

The Lady Bulldogs turned around and handed Dibble a 40-29 loss led by Kaylee Madden’s 14 points. She nailed a pair of buckets from beyond the arc.

“The Lady Bulldogs once again played good defense and shared the scoring well,” the coach said.

The Bulldogs came up just short in a 46-43 loss to the Demons despite 23 points from Mullins who cut the nylons for two from long distance.

He was also 5-7 at the charity stripe.

“The Bulldogs struggled scoring early and picked it up in the second half,” Trent said. “We just didn’t shoot it well late in the game and couldn’t get the win.

“We just had one of those nights where the ball just wouldn’t go through the net but would go all around it,” he said.

The District tournament is at Hydro with Wayne set to open the event against Union City at 6 and 8 p.m.
