Stow had five points in the third; Taylor had four more; Collier added three; and Higgins had two more.
With a quarter to play, Switzerland County led 43-16.
The fourth quarter saw the Switzerland County bench get emptied — as due to Crothersville not having very many players, there was no junior varsity game.
That meant that the entire bench was available to head coach Brooke Todd, and she took full advantage of that, as eight different players scored.
Taylor finished off her outstanding night with six more points; Addie Kelso and Carlee Boggs each had a basket for two points; and the rest of the scoring came from the freethrow line: Isabella Breeck had two points; Kaitlynn Stucker, Molly Wrightsman, Higgins, and Allena Weaver each had one.
Final score: Switzerland County 59, Crothersville24.
Along with Taylor, Stow finished with 14 points on her four three-pointers; and Higgins had eight points, four rebounds, and five steals.
