Paynesville 69, Kimball 54
Senior Amanda Glenz scored 35 points and hauled in 17 rebounds as the Bulldogs defeated Kimball 69-54 in their season opener on Tuesday, Dec. 2.

Senior post Amanda Glenz scored 35 points in leading the Bulldogs to a 69-54 season opening win against Kimball last week.

Kimball built an early lead with three-pointers - making six in the game - but the Bulldogs rallied from an early deficit of 11-3 to take a 19-17 lead at the end of the first quarter and 40-35 at the half, as Glenz scored 11 points in the quarter and 20 points in the first half.

Kimball's best player, senior guard Melanie Marquardt, picked up her fourth foul early in the third quarter and the Bulldogs took advantage of her foul trouble, scoring 15 straight points with her on the bench in foul trouble.

Kimball cut the Bulldogs' lead to nine points twice in the fourth quarter, but junior guard Kim Hess stole the ball and converted a layup, and then Glenz scored back-to-back layups as the Bulldogs regained a double-digit lead. Kimball did not threaten seriously after that.

Glenz made 14 shots from the field, dominating the inside with her six-foot height against a Kimball team whose tallest player was 5' 9". Hess had 14 points and four assists for the Dogs, and junior forward Brittany Lieser had six points, five rebounds, and four steals.
