TUPPERS PLAINS, Ohio — The Eastern girls basketball team gave up just two points in the first half Monday night during a 61-13 victory over visiting Federal Hocking in a Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division matchup at the Eagles’ Nest in Meigs County.

The Lady Eagles (5-1, 5-1 TVC Hocking) stormed out to a 29-0 advantage after eight minutes of play, then the hosts followed with a 13-2 run in the second canto for a sizable 42-2 advantage at the intermission.

The Lady Lancers (3-8, 3-5) were never closer the rest of the way, as EHS went on a small 8-4 spurt in the third for a comfortable 50-6 cushion headed into the finale. Eastern closed regulation with an 11-7 run to wrap up the 48-point decision.

Jenna Burdette led the Lady Eagles with a game-high 14 points, 10 of which came in the opening period. Katie Keller and Erin Swatzel added 10 points apiece, followed by Hayley Gillian with seven points and Jordan Parker with six markers.

Savannah Hawley had five points and Maddie Rigsby contributed four markers. Brenna Holter, Gabby Hendrix and Kelsey Myers rounded out the scoring with two points each. EHS was 4-of-7 at the free throw line for 57 percent.

Carley Tabler paced Fed Hock with 11 points, seven of which came in the fourth stanza. Whitney Gillian rounded out the scoring with two markers, which came on free throws in the third period.

FHHS was 7-of-9 at the charity stripe for 78 percent. The Lady Lancers didn’t make a field goal until the fourth quarter.
