Lady Railroaders continue to set records
Bradford to play for sectional title today
By George Starks

BROOKVILLE- It didn’t take Bradford long to show the Twin Valley South Lady Panthers, 1-21, it meant business.

Bradford senior Brooke Dunlevy scored the first six points of the night and 21 points overall as Bradford whipped the Panthers, 64-26.

Before the start of the sectionals, the Railroaders had already set a school record with a 17-5 record. That was the most wins in school history by a girls basketball team.

Now, 19-5, the Roaders set another historical mark with the victory over South.

On Saturday, at 1:30, Bradford will play in its first ever girls sectional.

Bradford will tangle with the Southeastern Trojans. Southeastern popped Miami Valley Tuesday, 62-52, earning them the right to battle Bradford.

With a win Saturday, the Roaders will once again set two records.

One will be a 20 win season while the second will be the first ever District appearance.

These girls really work hard and this has been a dream of ours,” said Bradford coach Patrick McKee. “If we can get a win Saturday, that would be great and we are excited but we have a lot of work to do.”

With every win, comes a new record and every games becomes bigger for Bradford.

Every game is a new opportunity for us,” acknowledged McKee. “I told the girls that we’re breaking records right now at our school and we don’t want those to be broke again but we can’t lose focus of our goals either. We have to come out and play every night and keep breaking this record.”

On a night when Dunlevy led the way, McKee was able to play everyone and was extremely happy with his reserves.

One of those reserves came in the form of Lauren Sharp.

The freshman deposited six points in the Roaders bank in very short order.

They shot the ball extremely well tonight,” said McKee said of his reserves. “It proved that when they are called on, they come in and are ready to go.”

After Dunlevy’s 21, no other player scored in double digits.

We had a balanced attack tonight,” said McKee. “We all know what Dunlevy can do but everyone on this team is capable of getting the job done. This team has been a blast to coach all year. Not just the seniors but the whole group. They just like to go out and have fun. This is not a selfish team at all. We don’t care who scores or get the rebounds, we just go out and get the job done.”

The Roaders will go after that record setting 20th win Saturday, following the sectional title game between Tri-Village-Covington, starting at noon.
