BAINBRIDGE — The Bainbridge-Guilford Bobcats girls’ basketball team hosted Walton/Downsville for the 2025-26 home opener. The Bobcats stayed undefeated with a 56-36 victory. The B-G JV girls also remain unbeaten with a 59-39 victory.

Both teams went back-and-forth in the first half with several ties and lead changes. B-G tied the game at 20 with a minute until halftime and then was ahead 22-20 at the break.

After the slow start, B-G pulled away in the second half, scoring 22 points in the second quarter. Emma Kinter had 10 points in the second quarter, including making four-of-five free-throws.

Despite Walton/Downsville trying to come back late, B-G continued to stay consistent offensively and play a strong defense.

Walton/Downsville’s Grace Walley, who scored 17 points, had a strong first half, where she drove inside the paint and B-G, for a while, could not contain her. However, Tori Suda guarded her strongly in the second half, where she was limited.

Kinter led the Bobcats with 16 points and 13 rebounds to post a double-double. Jayslin Henderson had 14 points, nine rebounds, and five steals. Marissa Mayo also posted a double-double with 10 points and 11 rebounds and added five steals as well.

Kamry Patten finished with eight points, making all four free-throw attempts. Tori Suda netted four points in the second half while Peyton Umbra and Jalyn Winans finished with two points each.

Umbra also had six rebounds, including five defensive rebounds in the win.

B-G also went 10-for-15 at the free-throw line with Patten and Mayo being perfect and Kinter just missing one attempt.

B-G (6-0) hosts their Kazalski tournament on December 29 and 30, featuring Windsor, Harpursville, and Spencer-Van Etten.
