The Saints Lady Saints (14-4) continued their hot start to the season Tuesday night by dominating Demopolis 50-29.

The Saints started the game on 14-0 run and never let up, despite the Tigers attempting to inch their way into the game in the third quarter.

“I told them any time you have a good first half you don’t let up,” Selma head coach Anthony Harris said. “You see that all across the board from high school, college to professional ball. You’ve got to keep the other team on their heels because sooner or later they are going to hit some baskets.”

Selma’s 26-10 halftime lead was down to only 32-20 with 2:43 remaining in the third quarter, but the Saints locked down defensively to stop the Tigers’ run.

Demopolis scored only nine points in the last ten minutes of the game.
