STAFF REPORTS

It was worth the same amount as any other bucket, but Delaware

Christian’s Haley Kirby netted more than two points when she sank a layup

in the third quarter of Thursday’s showdown against host Madison

Christian — she netted a milestone.

Needing just 13 points to reach 1,000 for her career, Kirby scored a

team-best 16 in the Eagles’ 41-31 win. “She, along with Sarah Harp, has

been carrying the program since her freshman year,” DCS coach Jackie

Boggs said. “She got her 1,000^th point after getting a steal on the

press and taking it back for an easy layin in the third.”

The Eagles (6-4) controlled the game from start to finish, outscoring

the hosts 11-6 in each of the first two quarters to build a 22-12 halftime

advantage — a lead they never relinquished. Brenna McCullough and Harp

were also solid in the win.

McCullough finished with 11 points, 15 rebounds and five steals while

Harp closed with five steals and five rebounds.
