The Chiefs led 26-7 at halftime and were not seriously threatened in the second half to improve to 7-9 on the season.
North Union drops to 2-14. Bellefontaine held North Union’s leading scorer Journey Blevins, a 5-11 sophomore forward, to two points. She came in averaging 14 per contest.
“I thought out defense helped set the tone early,” said Bellefontaine head coach Henry Stolly. “Our girls did a good job on (Blevins). She is a good player and we were able to limit her opportunities.
“We also rebounded well, too. When we defend well and rebound, I feel like we have a chance to play with just about anybody on the schedule.”
