Vienna —
On the same night Dooly County’s boys closed out their regular season with a single-game scoring high, its girls turned in their points production low for the 2012-13 campaign.
The result was a split of a Saturday Region 2-A doubleheader with Central Talbotton which after winning the feminine fray 38-22 lost the masculine match 82-68.
Those outcomes gave coach Towandi King’s Bobcats a record of 15-6 overall, 11-3 in league play and coach David Barron’s Bobcats a report card of 6-15 in all games, 5-9 in region action.
Both are entered in the Region 4-A tournament at Buena Vista where the sixth-seeded girls faced Pacelli yesterday at 4 p.m. and the second-seeded boys are idle until Friday’s 5:30 p.m. semifinals.
Bobcats 82, Hawks 68
In bettering their previous scoring high by two points and completing a sweep of a Hawks’ squad they had defeated 65-49 on the road, the Bobcats commanded quarter leads of 19-7, 40-27 and 58-48.
“Our guys’ shooting eyes were in focus as they hit a good percentage of their field goal attempts in a game that featured fast break attacks by both teams,” said Dooly scorekeeper Sharal Young.
“The press was never a factor as we chose not to do that at all and when they tried to press they didn’t have much success doing so.”
A.J. Smith swished the nets for 27 points, LaParris Hill rippled the cords for 15 and Jamari Baker pitched in 14 for the Bobcats. Tevin Carter cashed in 22 and Fazion Terry tossed in 17 for the Hawks.

Lady Hawks 38, Lady Bobcats 22
While the Bobcats would later find the baskets with consistency, neither the Lady Bobcats nor the Lady Hawks found the hoops with any kind of regularity.
Dooly was especially cold, never managing more than eight points in any quarter and thus facing rest break deficits of 10-6, 22-14 and 36-16 before winning the last quarter 6-2.
“Both teams were getting good shots, but the ball simply wouldn’t fall for either of us,” Young said. “It definitely as more a case of bad shooting rather than good defense.”
Central did land two players in double digits as Tatiyana Mahone netted 20 points and Cavanna Epps connected for 12. Triededria Burke paced Dooly with 11.
