Cumberland County elementary basketball update

The Cumberland County elementary varsity basketball season opened Nov. 24 with three doubleheaders — Crab Orchard at Homestead, South at Martin and Brown at Pleasant Hill, with the North at Stone postponed and reset for Jan. 5; however, last night's (Dec. 1) games were postponed, as school was dismissed for the snowy weather.

These games — Brown at South, Pleasant Hill at Martin, Crab Orchard at North and Homestead at Stone — must be rescheduled, as the county tournament is set Jan. 17, 19, 20, 23 and 24, utilizing both high school gyms.

Crab Orchard at Homestead

Homestead 38, Crab Orchard 16: Casey Swafford tallied 12 points to lead the Lady Bulldogs over the Lady Tigers. Rounding out the scoring were Jackie Livesay (6), Whitney Hankins (6), Emily Bryant (2), Meghan Server (8), Mary DeMetro (2) and T. Cokkinias (2).

Amanda Walker led Crab Orchard with six points. Rounding out the scoring were Destiny Carlton (4), Meghan Hayes (4) and Kirsten Potter (2).

"The guys played an overall good game, but tonight that wasn't enough. Costly turnovers in the first half and continually putting them at the late in the second half was too much for us to overcome. Coach Randy Herring did a good job of preparing his team for tonight. They did what they had to win tonight," said Martin Coach Blaine Moore.
