Clarendon Senior Jentry Shadle put on a three-point shooting clinic against Memphis last Wednesday and led the Lady Broncos to a 77-31 route over the Lady Cyclones. Shadle hit nine three-pointers and finished big with 33 total points. Teammate Taylor Gaines connected on two three-pointers and Deborah Howard added one for a total of 12 threes.
The ladies looked sharp against Memphis and stayed aggressive to get the win. As a team, the ladies shot 69 percent from the free throw line and several players put points on the board.
The Lady Broncos were able to increase their lead each quarter with consistent offense and frustrated their opponent defensively.
Scoring: Shadle 33, Gaines 12, McKayla Cartwright 11, D. Howard 7, Audrey Shelton 5, Camra Smith 5, Ryann Starnes 2, and Lydia Howard 2.
On Friday, the ladies went on the road and defeated San Jacinto 56-37. Once again, three Lady Broncos finished in double figures and shot well from the bonus line. The Lady Patriots played behind the Lady Broncos all night and could never stop their offensive momentum.
“The girls played hard,” coach Molly Weatherred said. “But, we need to get better offensive rebounds. They hurt us on the backboard. The ladies transitioned really good and ran the floor well.”
Scoring: Shadle 12, D. Howard 11, Cartwright 10, Gaines 8, Starnes 7, L. Howard 4, Smith 3, and Anna Ceniceros 1.
The ladies will continue district play on Friday, January 11 at Vega and take on White Deer at home Tuesday, January 15, at 6:30 p.m.
