SALISBURY — In a historical context, North Rowan’s girls basketball team playing at North Hills Christian School for the first time on Monday was significant.

As far as the basketball, it was a breezy night for the Cavaliers. They led 28-2 after the first quarter and cruised 74-16.

North (16-3) leads the Central Carolina Conference, won at Salisbury, owns an 11-game winning streak since a short-handed loss to the Hornets in the Christmas tournament, and has realistic dreams of a nice run in the 1A state playoffs.

North Hills (8-12) was overmatched by North’s aggressiveness and speed, but there was no shame in that. The Cavaliers have overmatched a lot of people.

Bailee Goodlett, who set the program single-game scoring record at South Rowan last week with 45 points, added 26 to her career total against North Hills.

Brittany Ellis continued a great senior season with 17 points.

Ten Cavaliers scored.

Addison Shehan scored nine points to pace the Eagles. Gloria-Jane Cross had seven rebounds. Reese Merrell and Sam Oxendine had six each.

Merrell had three assists. Lydia Vriesma blocked three shots.
