Garden City, KS (www.westernkansasnews.com) – In total dominating fashion the Garden City Community College Lady Busters dismantled the Lady Marvericks of Northwest Tech of Goodland last Saturday night 75-39 at Perryman Athletic Complex to advance to the Region VI quarterfinals. The Lady Busters got things going early and jumped on top of Marvericks and never looked back and controlled the score board in the first half with a 21 point lead at intermission 34-13. Three time KJCCC Player of the week and NJCAA player of the week, sophomore Tamara Jones led the scoring barrage for Garden City with 21 points and 9 rebounds, sophomore Deni Jacobs dropped in 18 and sophomore Tahlia Pope added 15 and every player on the roster scored in the game.
