Game One of “Game for the Cure”<br />
Lady Panthers Maul Lady Cubs<br />

Pink socks, pink-lettered<br />
jerseys, and pink<br />
armbands danced across<br />
the court, even as pink<br />
balloons and other rosyhued<br />
decorations glistened<br />
on the walls of the<br />
Rural Vale gymnasium. For<br />
Monday night brought out<br />
not only a rivalry match<br />
between the RVS and<br />
TPJHS, but also the<br />
“Game for the Cure”. Several<br />
young men and<br />
women, showcasing some<br />
basketball moxie, fought<br />
not only for the title of<br />
victor, but also for cancer<br />
victims and cancer awareness.<br />
Proceeds from the<br />
benefit went towards supporting<br />

The first game of the<br />
night belonged to the<br />
Lady Panthers and Lady<br />
Cubs. And it was a contest<br />
that favored the Lady Panthers<br />
from start to finish.<br />
Rural Vale opened up<br />
the game with a 6-0 run,<br />
courtesy of points made<br />
by Kaitlin Taylor, Mazie<br />
Hooper, and Jacobi Lynn.<br />
The Lady Cubs, on the<br />
other hand, struggled<br />
mightily on the offensive<br />
end. Their first basket did<br />
not come until the 3:59<br />
marker. Clarissa Lambert<br />
was responsible for that<br />
duo of points.<br />
But the Lady Cubs’<br />

troubles did not end there.<br />
The Lady Panthers continued<br />
to hound them on<br />
defense, even as the Tellico<br />
Plains squad missed<br />
shot after shot. The Lady<br />
Cubs nabbed just 3 points<br />
more in the first quarter.<br />
It was an obstacle they<br />
would face throughout the<br />
game.<br />
The Lady Panthers had<br />
no such troubles. They<br />
steamrolled ahead, adding<br />
to their weighty lead, and<br />
soon commanded the<br />
scoreboard by a margin of<br />
5-18.<br />
Their dominating rule<br />
did not end in the second<br />
quarter, either. Cheyenne<br />
Thompson, M. Hooper, J.<br />
Lynn, and Ally Williams<br />
paved the way in a 13-0<br />
run. Not long afterward,<br />
A. Williams tallied yet another<br />
basket to her name.<br />
Rural Vale’s defense also<br />
shone, making away with<br />
several steals and stopping<br />
many Tellico possessions<br />
in their tracks.<br />
The Lady Cubs did not<br />
have nearly so much luck.<br />
C. Kirkpatrick fought for<br />
and won their only 4<br />
points, with the first not<br />
coming until nearly 5 minutes<br />
had passed in the<br />
quarter.<br />
The score at halftime<br />
was 9-33.<br />

Lady Cubs exchanged<br />
some quick blows in the<br />
early moments of the second<br />
half. A. Williams<br />
opened proceedings with<br />
a basket, but C. Kirkpatrick<br />
quickly offered up<br />
her response: a bucket of<br />
her own. M. Hooper answered<br />
it by netting herself<br />
a duo of points on the<br />
other end.<br />
But then drought fell<br />
over the land, one that affected<br />
both teams. No<br />
shots fell, and no points<br />
were added to the scoreboard<br />
for quite some time.<br />
It was the Lady Panthers<br />
who came out of this<br />
dry-spell first. Ending it<br />
was J. Lynn, thanks to a<br />
nothing-but-net threepointer.<br />
Tellico Plains’ C. Kirkpatrick<br />
responded with an<br />
offensive put-back, but<br />
from then on out the momentum<br />
favored Rural<br />
Vale. The Lady Panthers<br />
snatched 7 more points in<br />
the third quarter. The<br />
Lady Cubs had none.<br />
The score at the end of<br />
the third quarter was 13-<br />
49.<br />
C. Thompson returned<br />
an offensive rebound, and<br />
J. Lynn picked a pocket<br />
and earned a pair of<br />
points, to open up the<br />
fourth and final quarter.<br />
Those were the Lady Panthers’<br />
last baskets for a<br />
while. They did not find<br />
another until late in the<br />
quarter, when Chloe Yearwood’s<br />
steal turned into a<br />
bucket by J. Lynn.<br />
The Lady Cubs were<br />
unable to close the gap in<br />
the meanwhile, however.<br />
C. Kirkpatrick nailed two<br />
free-throws, and made<br />
away with a steal for the<br />
basket as well, but those 4<br />
points were the Lady<br />
Cubs’ last.<br />
The final score was 17-<br />
55.<br />
