The Trojans had practice scheduled on Thursday in anticipation of Saturday’s game against New Franklin. Instead, the Bulldogs showed up at Community R6’s gym ahead of schedule. It was not unannounced, just a bit of short notice. “The girls did not know til about noon we were going to play New Franklin today,” said head coach Bob Curtis. But little seems to ruffle this season’s squad. Community brushed off the Bulldogs 50-31 to run their record to 19-1 a few days after topping Cairo.

It seemed as if nothing could stop Brianna Beamer. That point was hammered home to Pilot Grove again and again on Friday as the Community R6 forward scored 29 on the way to a 71-41 home win.
Beamer and the Trojans jumped out to a convincing lead in the early going, but the visitors began to come to life in the second quarter.
“We did not protect the rim very well in transition early in the game,” head coach Bob Curtis said.
No matter. Beamer – joined by Alexis Welch with 14 and Sarah Angel, who knocked down 13 – kept the tap running. A big third quarter surge silenced Pilot Grove for good, leading in an anti-climatic final period.

It’s quite possible Slater’s starting five still have nightmarish visions of Alexis Welch and Sarah Angel.
The pair combined for 35 points – 18 for the former, 17 for the latter. To add to the carnage, Welch nabbed 10 rebounds and Angel picked Slater pockets five times as Community overwhelmed the Wildcats 52-21 on Friday.
Much of the damage came during at 22-9 third quarter charge. Head coach Bob Curtis attributes the surge to the Trojans play on the defensive side. Harrying Slater with a zone press, they created multiple turnovers leading to fast breaks, leading to points.
