The Lady Broncos played hard, but came up short in only their second game of the season Tuesday night at Canadian. The Lady Broncos lost that match up 40-67.
The Lady Broncos only trailed by five points after the first quarter of play, but fell off the pace before the break. The ladies will continue to work hard in practice to work out the kinks and get back on track.
“The game was definitely another sloppy game,” head coach Molly Weatherred said. “We have a lot to clean up, but it is early in the year and turnovers are expected. We definitely have to cut down on our turnovers and do a much better job of taking care of the ball.”
Taylor Degrate led the ladies on the board with 18 points. She was also perfect from the free throw line going eight for eight. Taylor Gaines finished with five points and Deborah Howard and Camra Smith each had four. Ryann Starnes and Haley Ferguson added three a piece and Brittney Braim helped with two.
The Lady Bronco junior varsity also ran into a snag against the Lady Wildcats losing 30-68. It was a slow go at the start and the Lady Broncos struggled in the opening half.
Offensively, they could not find a rhythm and fought to execute. Defensively, they could not contain the quickness of their opponent.
“We saw some things we need to improve on,” coach Kasey Bell said. “We had some mistakes, but know we can fix them.”
Briley Chadwick led the ladies with 11 points and Jensen Hatley added six. Hatley finished at 86 percent from the bonus line. Sterling Kind added five and Hannah Howard and Berkeley Alexander each helped with four points. The Lady Bronco varsity will participate in the Tulia Tournament on November 21 while the JV will not play until they play at home against Quanah on November 26 at 4:00 p.m.
