Clarksville, TN – Montgomery Central High School’s girls basketball team remained winless on the season after seeing Greenbrier High School knocking down 11 shots from behind the three-point arc, Monday, December 1st at the Thomas-Young Gymnasium, as the Lady Indians fell to the Lady Bobcats 65-28.

But that would be as close as the Lady Indians would get, with Greenbrier closing out the first eight minutes of play by outscoring Montgomery Central 7-2 over the final 1:37 to hold a 18-9 advantage after one quarter of play.
The second quarter would see Brooke Christy hit the Lady Indians lone three of the night to open the period, making it a six-point game, but six straight points by Greenbrier – including back-to-back steals and layups by Katlin Sanford — pushed the lead out to the largest spread of the first half, 24-12.
Montgomery Central wouldn’t get any closer than nine points the rest of the way, with Greenbrier holding a 31-16 lead at halftime.
