Erica Ousley, a Class AAA All-Metro selection last year, took something of a back seat to junior guard Brandi James, and freshman inside force Erica Watkins on Sunday as the Bulldogs crushed Bolton, 61-36, in an opening-round Dragon Fire Tournament game at Houston.
Ousley, a 5-6 guard being looked at by Memphis, Mississippi State and Middle Tennessee, scored eight points in the opening quarter, and eight the rest of the game for 16 -- well off her season's average of 22.2 a year ago.
Did it bother her? "I've never had this much help, and it's great," Ousley said.
James, a slashing guard, took over late in the second period. She dished off three nifty baseline assists in an 8-2 closing run that gave the Bulldogs (10-1) a 33-25 lead at the break. Then in the third quarter, she scored nine of her game-high 22 points, capped by a 35-foot bank shot from near the right sidelines at the buzzer. It came after she inbounded the ball to Ousley, who fired the ball right back.
