Shutting out your opponent in baseball or football is quite common, but doing the same on the basketball court  is unheard of.

The North Delta Lady Green Wave almost pulled off the rare feat by holding Marvell, Ark. to a pair of late second half field goals in a 56-8 drubbing at the Magnolia Heights Pre-season Tournament Tuesday night in Senatobia.

North Delta (1-0) took on division foe Kirk last night and will close out the tournament Saturday with the Junior High Lady Wave taking on Memphis Home School at noon followed by the varsity girls.

Laci DuBravec led all scorers with 12 points as North Delta led 20-2 at the end of the first quarter and 31-3 at halftime. The second half was played with an eight-minute running clock.

Charla Shea Darby and Bradi Beard followed DuBravec with 10 points each. Erin Snider added six points while Julianna Morrow and Hastings Neal registered four.

Hannah Greenlee, Callie Blake Masterson, Claire Gant and Peyton Rico all chipped in with two points each.

The North Delta junior high girls were not as lucky however as they fell 46-28 to Marvell.

Anna Lloyd led the Wave with nine points followed by Janie Brasell and Shelby Province with four points each.

Sarah Johnson, Madison McBride, Sarah Toole, Megan Bollinger and Tiffany Rammage all added two points in the loss. Haley Lamm rounded out scoring with one point.
