The night began with some boys Junior Varsity action which saw the JV Butler Boys defeat the Marksmen.
The ladies would kick-off the Varsity play, seeking to rebound off of a tough home loss against the Harrisonville Lady Wildcats last night.
Lady Marksmen won the opening tip and instantly converted the possesion into a bucket. The Bears would then go to work, rattling of an 8-0 run, forcing the Sherwood coach to take a time-out with 4:48 left in the beginning period. Following the time-out the Lady Marksmen would finally break the Bears run with a corner three drilled by Hill. After the first 8 minutes, the Bears led 13-8.
To open the 2nd, the Lady Marksmen again struck first, and played their way right back into the game. With 3 minutes left in the half, a pair of free throws from McCulloh would knot the score up at 17 a piece. After one half, the Bears clung to a 1 point lead with a score of 22-21.
After a turnover riddled start to the second half, the Bears would stat to settle in and force Sherwood Marksmen to burn another time-out as they were staring at a 6 point deficit with just over 3 minutes remaining in the 3rd.
A pair of 3 pointers knocked down by Hill out of the time-out would jumpstart 6-0 Marksmen run before Carmichael would hit a jumper to regain the Bears 33-31 lead. Carmicheal would end the quarter for the Bears hitting 4-5 free throws and helping the bears take a 37-31 lead into the 4th.
Clover would flush a 3 from the corner to trigger the scoring in the final quarter, but the Lady Marksmen would refuse to go away. In the closing 4 minutes the Bears start to slowly stretch the lead, and close out the night with a 49-41 win.
The Butler Lady Bears were led in scoring by freshman Kylee Dubray who had 20 points and 18 rebounds in the win. Carmichael pitched in 15 as well. The Lady Marksmen were led by Sadie McCullow with 19 points and 15 rebounds to go along with 6 steals.
