CLEVELAND, Tenn. – Bradley Central girls’ basketball coach Jason Reuter said that when District 5-AAA held its preseason meeting he wasn’t trying to be arrogant when he admitted that his team should be picked No. 1 in the league.
So far the Bearettes have done nothing but prove their coach right.
They did so again, and emphatically, Tuesday night.
Playing host to Walker Valley, which had won its three previous district games, Bradley Central had an early run of 17 consecutive points and ultimately disposed of the Lady Mustangs 77-39.
“We were picked number one, and should’ve been,” said Reuter, whose team improved to 10-0 and 3-0 in the district. “But this thing’s not over. Every game except one we’ve played on our home court. In no sport is home-court advantage bigger than basketball, in my opinion.”
