TEMPLE, TX — The Bonham Lady Bulldog 7th Grade A basketball team put on a defensive clinic Thursday night, cruising to a commanding 40-10 victory over the visiting Belton Middle School Lady Tigers at Bulldog Gym.

From the opening tip-off, the Lady Bulldogs established a pace that Belton struggled to match. Led by a career-high performance from Kylen Russell, Bonham remained in control through all four quarters to secure the win in front of a home crowd.

She remained consistent through the second half, adding 6 points in both the third and fourth quarters to finish with a game-high 24 points.
