Two undefeated 5-6 grade basketball teams met Thursday night as Centertown’s Lady Warriors played host to Eastside’s Lady Bulldogs. When the dust settled, Eastside came away with a 22-11 win.The dust could have been from the many turnovers by Centertown (4-1) or the pressing defense of Eastside (4-0), but whatever the cause, Centertown just gave away too many chances and Eastside took advantage of them by scoring points.Centertown didn’t have an answer for the offensive threat of Eastside’s dynamic duo of Emeri Cummings and Shelby Smartt. Cummings had access to rebounds all night and started the offense or scored, depending on which side of the court she was on.
