GDW Analysis:
Senior night would be memorable for the Lady Eagles Tuesday with four players getting recognized for two consecutive years of success this program has experienced with current coach Emily Willoughby.
The 3rd period would be sound offensive basketball as Vinemont hit 13 field goals in the process, a season best 9 three pointers and 35 points in the stanza.
A 43 to 26 lead at the half was now 78 to 37 entering the final 8:00.
Willoughby's seniors, Yarbrough, Robinson, Miller and Holcomb would account for 7 treys.
Yarbrough landed three in the 3rd as Vinemont posted its best time on the home floor for the season in points, treys, points by one period and points in the 1st half.
Robinson added to her honors in being the school's all time leading scorer.
The senior tossed in 23 and now has 1,801 with three games left in the regular season.
Thomason, a sophomore, blazed a sound trail with 3 treys, 5 FGs and a pair of points from the FT line.
Basinger hit back to back FGs in the 1st in an 11 to 0 run to send Vinemont on top for the rest of the evening.
Vinemont added a game to the schedule.
The Lady Eagles will entertain Arab Thursday at 5:30 p.m., take a trip to East Lawrence Friday and finish the regular season Monday in Blount County at Appalachian.
Vinemont is the host for the 3A, Area 11 playoffs with the tournament getting started February 5.
