Sandy Creek hosted the Sutton Fillies Thursday, Jan. 25, with the Fillies running away with the win, downing the Cougars, 44-29.
Sutton came out running, getting multiple steals and then getting many open opportunities, as the Cougars were a little flustered with turnovers and not having shots fall.
Sutton outscored the Cougars 11-3 in the first quarter, and held an 18-7 halftime lead, before the Fillies outscored Sandy Creek in the second half, 26-22.
What got the Fillies on track in the game was hitting threes and just playing tough on defense, not letting the Cougars leading scorer Emma Fisher have any easy buckets around the rim.
Sutton shot at a 37.5 percent clip, making 15 of 40 shots from the floor, while the Cougars were just 9-33 (27.3%) overall.
