The Lady Broncos remain undefeated and are still in the hunt for a district championship with their latest win coming against Claude last Friday night. The ladies dominated the final three quarters of play and earned the 63-53 win.
The Claude Lady Mustangs opened the game with the early momentum and lead but were overcome by the strength of the Lady Broncos and succumbed to their lead at the break. Capitalizing on shooting 72 percent from the bonus line, the Lady Broncos took control of the game offensively.
They were also able to play aggressive defense to stifle the Lady Mustangs. Clarendon connected on eight three-point shots with four of those coming from senior Jentry Shadle. Lydia Howard put in two and Taylor Gaines and Ryann Starnes each earned one. Deborah Howard also accounted for 15 points in the game.
“I thought we played well and had some girls really step up,” coach Molly Weatherred said. “Claude really tried to key in on Jentry Shadle and McKayla Cartwright. We had other girls step in a make up for that. I think we are really hard to guard because we have a lot of girls who can do things offensively.”
Scoring: Shadle 16, D. Howard 15, Gaines 12, L. Howard 6, Starnes 5, Cartwright 3, and Camra Smith 1.
The ladies will travel to White Deer Friday, February 1 to take on the Does and play in their final home game of the season on Tuesday, February 5, at 6:30 p.m.
