Since losing starting forward Erin Snider to a season-ending knee injury in early November, the North Delta Green Wave inside game has been streaky at best. But Hanna Greenlee took care of that problem

The 5-foot-11 senior forward scored 12 points and pulled down four rebounds to help lead the Lady Wave to a 58-32 victory over Magnolia Heights Saturday afternoon in Senatobia.

North Delta jumped out to a 14-5 lead after one quarter and never trailed in the game. The Lady Green Wave outscored the home team 15-6 in the second quarter for a 29-11 lead at halftime.

Lake Suddoth led the Lady Chiefs with 10 points while Jordan Ladd added seven.

Charla Darby drained a three-pointer from the left side to give the visitors a commanding 21-9 lead with 2:10 remaining in the half. Beard put the finishing touch on the first half with a three-ball of her own at the buzzer.

The second half was all North Delta  as the Lady Wave built a 44-15 lead. DuBravec drilled a three -pointer followed by a Hastings Neal basket to increase the lead to 34-12 at the 5:28 mark.

Darby followed in the scoring column with seven points while Neal chipped in with six points. Claire Gant   registered five while Katelyn Still, Casey Gee and Jordan Pullen finished with two points each.

Al Graham led all scorers with 15 points on four three pointers as Magnolia Heights took a 17-5 first quarter lead and never looked back in picking up the easy victory.

Renic Greenlee led North Delta (0-4) with 12 points. Greenlee’s three-pointer  cut the Magnolia Heights lead to 39-27 with 7:03 remaining in the fourth quarter, but  would go scoreless the rest of the way as the Chiefs went on a 8-0 run to close out the game.
