GDW Analysis:
WEST POINT: Gameday Weekly got to see the best of the Faulkner sisters joining scoring forces to lead the West Point Lady Warriors in a dominating 86 to 30 romp of Lawrence County Tuesday at Jim Boyd Gymnasium.
The junior sisters, Camryn and Jaelyn tore apart Lawrence County, combining for 49 points.
Camryn, the shooting guard of the two, responded with 26.
Jaelyn, the point guard for John Welborn's unit, delivered 23 points.
Both set the tone per half.
The duo had 26 of the teams' 52 points by halftime and combined for 23 in the final half. That keeps West Point undefeated in 5A, Area 15 play at 3 & 0 and 16 & 4 for the season.
The Lady Warriors are currently 5th in the 5A state basketball poll.
A 17 to 3 run late in the first enabled West Point to go from leading the visitor from Moulton 10 to 6 to 27 to 29 when time ran out.
The Lady Warriors romped to a 52 to 17 lead at intermission and went into the final period having a 72 to 26 cushion.
Two others tallied double figures on the evening with West Point hitting 30 field goals. They made 8 in the 1st, 8 in the 2nd, 9 in the 3rd and 5 in the 4th for producing high numbers on the Jim Boyd Gymnasium scoreboard.
Laklin Shadix tossed in 15, Caitlee Simmons scored 14, Kealie Harbison had 7 and Maci Brown one.
West Point will look to wrap up the Area 15 regular season crown at home Friday when they meet Russellville.
The game will be at approximately 5:15 p.m. and will be live on WKUL FM (92.1) as the Game of the Week.
