The Lady Broncos hosted Canadian Tuesday, December 10; and despite holding the early lead, fell short at 40-54. Foul trouble loomed huge over the ladies and hindered their attempt to defeat the Lady Cats.
Clarendon led after the first eight minutes of play, but an over-aggressive defense turned sour when the ladies were called for too many fouls. The Lady Cats were able to tie the score at 21 at the break and rode the momentum into the final half of play to get the win. Their best player pumped in 21 points and was the spark they needed.
“We got in foul trouble early,” head coach Molly Weatherred said. “And their best player really came alive in the third quarter to go up on us. We just could never get it back.” Taylor Degrate, Ryann Starnes, and Taylor Gaines finished in double figures with 13, 12, and 11 points each.
Also scoring: Deborah Howard 3 and Skyler White 1.
The Lady Broncos will play in the Canadian Tournament December 27 and travel to Memphis December 31. They will play San Jacinto at home January 3.
