DENTON — For the first time in this century, North Rowan’s girls basketball team had three 20-point scorers on Wednesday.

Senior Hannah Wilkerson (23 points), sophomore Bailee Goodlett (23) and sophomore Brittany Ellis (20) all had hot hands in a 76-44 Central Carolina Conference romp at South Davidson.

“The girls did  good job of sharing the ball and getting out in transition offense,” North head coach Anthia Smith said. “It makes a difference when we are getting stops and scores. Everyone got good looks, but we still need to finish better around the basket.”

Wilkerson added six rebounds, four steals and four assists. Goodlett had five steals and four assists. Ellis had eight rebounds and three steals.

Chloee Stoner had five points and four rebounds. Bloom Goodlett had seven rebounds.

North (8-3, 3-0) stayed at the top of the CCC. Salisbury and Lexington are 2-0 in the league.

NORTH SCORING — Wilkerson 23, Bailee Goodlett 23, Ellis 20, Stoner 5, Elder 2, Bloom Goodlett 2, Stockton 1.
