POMEROY — Now, that’s what you call offense.

The Fairland Lady Dragons hit 33 of 74 field goal attempts en route to an easy 91-49 win over the Meigs Lady Marauders Monday in a non-league game.

“The offense did a pretty good job. We hit some shots and we were able to get everyone in the game,” said Fairland coach Jon Buchanan.

Three players hit double figures as 15 different players scored for the Lady Dragons who remained unbeaten in nine games.

Terra Stapleton head 16 points, 15 rebounds and 3 blocked shots to lead Fairland. Kayla Swiger scored 14 points, Kelsey Riley had 12 points and 7 rebounds and Katie Fuller added 9 points and had 6 of Fairland’s 23 steals.

Dani Culluns scored 16 points for Meigs (2-8).

Fuller scored 8 points and Stapleton 7 as Fairland jumped in front 27-10 in the first quarter.

Riley had 8 points and Stapleton added 5 more in the second quarter as Fairland built a comfortable 49-24 halftime lead.

Swiger scored 6 of her points in the third quarter as Fairland blitzed the Lady Marauders 26-9 to take an insurmountable 75-33 cushion.

Taylor Staten converted 6of 8 free throws in the fourth quarter for the Lady Dragons.

“We didn’t have the energy we should have had,” said Buchanan. “But we played them the first game of the season and we were pretty successful. Meigs has gotten better.”

Fairland hosts Rock Hill on Thursday in an Ohio Valley Conference game.
