Breaking Records
by THS Media Kane Mobley
The Truman Girls basketball team went up against the girls from Wyandotte, in a tournament hosted by Truman High School. The Truman Patriots came right out of the gate scoring. Right from the start, the game was lopsided, and it stayed that way.
“We came in like it was a regular game, but I didn’t expect this,” sophomore Brodi Byrd said. “I kind of was just watching her.”
At the half, Truman was up 63-9. The Patriots were led by sophomore Erin Davis, who had scored 25 points in the first two quarters of the game. Davis was lighting it up from the three-point line.
As the second half started, Davis wasn’t done. She got the ball and scored on her first shot-attempt of the half, which was a three-pointer.
Davis made her presence felt from behind the arc as she would go on to break the record for three-pointers in a game for Truman girls, with 10.
“It’s definitely something I’ll remember for the rest of my life,” Davis said. “I’ve never done that before and it felt surreal I don’t know if I could do that again even if I tried.”
Davis ended with 40 points, which was a career high for the sophomore guard. An all around good game from not only Davis, but the rest of the ladies for Truman on both sides of the ball would lead the Patriots to a 98-26 victory over Wyandotte.
“She was in the zone, she was everywhere and we just let her do her thing,” senior guard Sydney Paialii said.
