BRODHEAD - The Brodhead girls basketball team continued to roll, as the Cardinals picked up a 72-21 win over Big Foot Tuesday night.
Brodhead was in complete control from the start. The Cardinals led 26-5 after a quarter of play, and took a 44-8 lead into the locker room at halftime. Brodhead coach Brad Pickett said that getting out to a fast start was one of his team's goals coming into the game.
"One of our goals was getting out to a fast start and then playing a full 32 minutes," Pickett said. "We did a pretty good job defensively. We got a hand in the passing lanes and got some turnovers. We boxed-out and did a good job of limiting them to one opportunity."
Four Cardinals scored in double figures. Brianna Hicks and Carly Mohns each scored 13 to lead Brodhead, while Meg Duffield and Kylie Moe each chipped in 10. Pickett didn't think that anyone really stood out, it was just a solid team effort.
"The thing that stood out was our team defense. I think we gave up 7 field goals and 21 points. I think in 32 minutes that's a good effort," he said. "We had four girls in double figures, so it's hard to say that anyone really stood out."
Brodhead (10-0) hosts Jefferson on Friday in a non-conference game.
