SHERIDAN — White Hall survived a late rally by Sheridan and beat the Yellowjackets 55-53 on Tuesday night. Jeremy Sprinkle led the Bulldogs with 25 points and 15 rebounds.
Coach Joe Stacy said the Bulldogs (4-3) struggled to find their shooting touch, and that other than Sprinkle the team’s play was inconsistent.
“Jeremy played his game, it was a little sporadic everywhere else,” Stacy said. “We didn’t have a good shooting night.”
White Hall’s next game will be their first action in the 5A-Southeast Conference, when the Bulldogs travel to Sylvan Hills on Friday to play the Bears. The tip-off time for that game has not yet been determined.
