Landrum Cardinals 2-0 with win over Chapman

Published 5:02pm Thursday, December 6, 2012

The Landrum Cardinals increased their record to 2 – 0 Tuesday, Dec. 4 under the leadership of coach Lyn Smith.

The Cardinals won against Chapman High at home 78 – 54. This was another very impressive win by Landrum who also won big last week against Polk County.

This well-rounded team plays good defense and can really shoot the ball.

Both teams came out of the gate running with one fast break after another. Landrum converted a lot of points off Chapman turnovers. The Cardinals had 17 total steals in the game with Chris Schulman making seven of them, followed by teammate Truston Whiteside with five.

Landrum ended the first quarter up 13 points with a score of 21 – 8. Chapman played better through the second quarter trying to make up for their lack of points in the first but its hard to stop a team like Landrum that had five players shoot 50 percent or better from the field.

The two teams went into the locker room with a score of Landrum 41 – Chapman 29.
