The Green Lady Bobcats were thankful there were four quarters.

Locked in a 6-point game after three quarters, Green pulled away in the fourth quarter to beat the St. Joseph Lady Flyers 50-32 in a Southern Ohio Conference game.

“It was a close game until the fourth quarter,” said Green coach Melissa Knapp. “We didn’t box out well and still didn’t transition well until the fourth quarter.”

Green (4-2, 3-2) went up 13-8 in the first quarter as Anna Knapp scored 6 points, Alex Smith 4 and Katelinn Satterfield hit a trey.

Mia Weber had 4 points and Aubrey Sutton and Gracie Damron 2 each for the Lady Flyers.

The Lady Bobcats went up 22-14 at the half as Knapp got 5 more points in the second quarter. Weber scored all 6 of the Lady Flyers’ points.

Weber scored 8 points including a 3-point play and Damron added 4 more points as St. Joseph cut the deficit to 32-26.

But Green outscored St. Joseph 18-6 in the fourth quarter as Knapp scored 9 points and Satterfield hit a triple and had 5 points.

Addison Philabaun scored all 4 of her points and Damron added a basket to account for the St. Joseph scoring in the quarter.

Knapp finished with a game-high 20 points and Smith had 12 for Green.

Weber had a career-high 16 points and Damron 8 points for St. Joseph (2-3, 2-3).
