Springdale Girls Fall To Shiloh Christian

Thursday, November 29, 2012

Springdale High had trouble slowing down Shiloh Christian’s inside game Wednesday as the Lady Bulldogs suffered a 57-37 loss that eliminated them from the Citizens Bank Classic at Van Buren.

Baiyinnah Taylor led Springdale (1-3) with 11 points and Brittany Jurgens added eight, but the Lady Bulldogs were outscored in the second half to lose for the second time this season to Shiloh.

Springdale girls basketball coach Heather Hunsucker said the Lady Saints repeatedly went inside for high-percentage shots and Springdale had difficulty defending the paint with Ashley Dederich still sidelined with a dislocated shoulder.

“We shot 24 percent on the night, and they shot 57 percent because all of theirs was coming from the block,” Hunsucker said.

Springdale is scheduled to return to action Dec. 6 when it takes part in the Durant Lion Classic in Durant, Okla.
