SOUTH POINT - Thank goodness there was a second half.

After clinging to a 3-point halftime lead against winless Rock Hill, the South Point Lady Pointers turned in a strong second half as they beat the Redwomen 62-43 Thursday in an Ohio Valley Conference game.

"The first half we played about as bad as we can play. The second half we changed the lineup up around and started to pull away," Lady Pointers coach Dave Adams said.

South Point opened the game with a 6-0 run and Alisha Bridges scored 8 points including a 3-pointer and it was 11-8 at the end of the quarter.

Sarah Lee had 4 points to offset 4 by Rock Hill's Bobbi Harper and it was 23-20 at the half.

"We got the lead early and then we just started turning the ball over, " Adams said. "We put things together after the half."

Jessi Craft scored 6 points and the Lady Pointers held Rock Hill to 8 points - Harper had 4 of the points - as the lead went to 37-28.

Bridges poured in 11 points in the fourth quarter as South Point began to pull away.

Bridges scored 18 points and Craft 14 to lead South Point, 5-1 overall and 2-0 in the OVC.
