PINSON — The Clay-Chalkville girls basketball team opened up Class 6A, Area 12 play with a win on Thursday night in Mike Dutton Gymnasium.
Cheyenne Pearson led the way with 10 points, the Cougars shot 28 free throws and pulled away in the second half for a 49-23 road victory over Pinson Valley.
Defense traveled well for Clay-Chalkville, as the visitors held Pinson to only two first-half field goals, both coming in the second quarter. The Cougars were also a little slow to find their offense, but Kameron Sanders finished the first half with a nice mid-range bucket. She worked around a Pinson Valley defender with a ball-fake, stepped inside the arc and rattled down her team’s fourth basket of the half, which sent them to the locker room with a 17-8 advantage.
