Bagwell, Lady Colonels crush Webster County

The Christian County Lady Colonels shook off the rust of a long Christmas break and handed visiting Webster County a 59-9 girls’ basketball loss Tuesday night at Lyle Dunbar Gym.

The Lady Colonels’ pressure defense smothered Webster County all night and led to a 21-0 run to open the game.

The outcome was never in doubt as Christian County outscored the Lady Trojans 22-5 in the second quarter for a 43-7 lead at the break.

Christian County (5-6) limited the Lady Trojans (5-7) to only one basket in the second half, which was played with a running clock.
