“We talk all the time about finishing out a half strong and the being able to come out in the second half,” Holland said. “I didn’t want them to come out lethargic. They talked about it and they said they were ready to go. I felt their energy today.”

the Bulldogs led by as many as 22 points in the second half and went into the fourth quarter leading 43-25 before being able to cruise to the easy victory.

Lampley led the Bulldogs with 33 points and scored 18 of them in the second half.

“He never ceases to surprise me,” Holland said. “He works so hard. He is a quiet leader and he works hard.”

The Bulldogs will be back in action today when they host Barbour County beginning at 7 p.m.

“It’s going to be a tough game considering how bad they beat us over there,” Holland said. “We are looking to catapult and build on what we do everyday.”
