The offense churned out plenty of points, the defense was relentless and an early lead grew over the course of the game.
There were no surprises for the 12th-ranked Arundel Wildcats in their holiday basketball tournament.
Their performances resembled most of the others this season, which was bad news for two Prince George's County foes.
The Wildcats wrapped up their fifth championship in a row and remained undefeated, with a 76-36 victory over Crossland last night.
They had moved into the final with a 53-25 romp over Eleanor Roosevelt the previous night.
Two games, two blowouts. That's the kind of play that coach Lee Rogers was seeking as his team readies for the new year.
"We've worked real hard to get to where we are," he said. "It's finally coming together."
Seven games into the season, and the Wildcats barely have broken a sweat. They are averaging 63.2 points a game, and are allowing 26. Their closest call was a lackluster 37-25 win over Broadneck Dec. 19.
"We're even better than we've shown. We haven't played as well as we can in all the games," said junior guard Kara Kitchen, who had 13 points, five rebounds, three steals and two assists.
"We're trying to send a message to the other teams and get their respect."
Jen Mottar had 13 points, 14 rebounds and five steals. Freshman Sherice Proctor added 10 points and five assists. Freshman Erin Wilmer had nine points, and Chavonne Hammond contributed eight points, eight rebounds, four blocks and three steals.
Tiffanie Drayton scored 13 points for Crossland (2-5), which defeated North County, 46-43, in Monday's semifinals.
Last night's game was over early. Crossland scored the first basket, then watched as Arundel ran off 12 straight points.
By the end of the quarter, the Wildcats had made 10 of 24 shots, compared to two of 12 by the Cavaliers, forced 11 turnovers and taken a 23-8 lead.
TTC They allowed just one field goal in the second quarter and extended their lead to 41-11. Kitchen had 12 points in the half, and eight different Wildcats scored.
Marcia Lavin became the ninth when she contributed three points off the bench in the third quarter. But Crossland played its best basketball during that time, scoring seven of the first eight points, and 16 over all.
It wasn't nearly enough. In the fourth quarter, Shawna Gooding and Alyssa Omwake became the 10th and 11th Wildcats to score.
In the consolation game, North County (3-4) couldn't overcome a disastrous second quarter and lost, 52-39, to Eleanor Roosevelt (3-4).
The Knights were outscored, 20-9, as the Raiders built on a 12-8 lead.
They shot 2-for-14 in the quarter and committed six of their 34 turnovers. They didn't score until 2:48 remained in the half, when Kysha Naylor put back a miss.
North County's 7-0 run late in the quarter, including all five of Brandee Johnson's points, kept it from being even worse.
Roosevelt's Stephanie Foster scored seven straight points to open the quarter and finished with 25. Sara Helms led North County with 13 points and Allison Sabo had 12. They combined for 18 second-half points.
"I told them at halftime they were down by 15 and it looked like we were out of it, but not if we didn't want to be," said Knights coach Sally Entsminger. "We did play much better in the second half, but we missed shots and they would get two or three shots and score.
"We're a much better team than we showed in this Christmas tournament."
