Glendale girls 50, Joplin 33

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — The Falcons erased a two-point deficit after one quarter with a 22-4 advantage in the second to hurdle the Eagles in the Ozark Conference contest.

Jen Pittman, a 5-9 junior, scored 12 of her 16 points in the second quarter to spark the Falcons. Mariah Starks and Teaira Clancy combined for 21 additional Glendale points.

Said Joplin assistant Danielle Falor: “We were without Bailey Taylor (sophomore starter) because she rolled an ankle early in the third quarter of our last game. Two girls with three fouls in the first quarter also didn’t help.”

Kelsey Johnson, a 5-5 junior, scored 17 points for the Eagles.

Joplin entertains West Plains in another Ozark Conference game at 5 p.m. on Thursday.
