FAYETTEVILLE — Fayetteville girls basketball hosted Richards High School Jan. 31 at Lions Gym in Fayetteville and won by a final score of 42-31.
As Richards jumped out to an early lead, Fayetteville had a big second half with good transition ball and controlling the game on offense to ultimately win by dou ble-digits. "We came out of the game kind of sloppy," said Fayetteville head girl’s basketball coach Marcus Sodek. “We haven’t played in like a week. We've had a lot of games that had gotten canceled.
As far as our defense, really did nothing different in the second half. Just asked the girls at half - time to kind of turn up the inten sity a little bit. We didn’t change much on offense either. That kind of came with our defense. We got more turnovers and more fast break layups. They went to man there for a while and I felt it kind of spread them out and opened the floor up more for us out of the zone."
