Lady Broncos nab two wins over break

By Sandy Anderberg

The Lady Broncos squared off against San Jacinto at home last Thursday night and after four quarters, the ladies came up with a 48-32 win. The Lady Broncos led throughout and shot sixty-seven percent from the free throw line to help them to the win.

Clarendon held the Lady Patriots at bay in the first three quarters of play, but dominated the final eight minutes of play to get the win. The ladies played solid basketball and worked hard to put points on the board. Ryann Starnes led with eighteen points, but Taylor Gaines and Taylor DeGrate finished with fourteen and twelve points. Deborah Howard helped with four points.

The Lady Broncos also traveled to Memphis over the break and handily defeated them, 54-21. The ladies took a commanding lead at the tip off and stayed strong until the final buzzer.

The Lady Cyclones were never able to do anything to stop Clarendon’s offensive surge. Gaines and Starnes finished in double figures with thirteen and twelve points. Camra Smith had eight, Phara Berry helped with seven, and DeGrate added six. Brittney Braim put in five and Skyler White accounted for three points. The Lady Broncos shot just under fifty percent from the free throw line.

They will play Vega at home on Friday, January 10, beginning at 6:30 p.m. and travel to White Deer on Tuesday, January 14.
