Lady Colts win 2nd in Groom Tourney

The Clarendon Lady Colts played solid basketball in the Groom Tournament over the weekend and finished in second place with two wins and one loss.

The Lady Colts had their first 27-37 loss in the opening game against a good Sunray team. The first half of play belonged to the Lady Colts as they were able to hold the Lady Cats at bay. But Sunray stepped up their game and scored 25 points in the second half to get the win.

Cambree Smith topped the field with 12 points that included hitting eight of ten free throws and Jayla Woodard helped with six.
Makynna Williams had four, Josie Murillo and Ella Estlack put in two each, and Kinslee Hatley had one.

Their last two games were against West Texas White and West Texas Red, and they had no problem with either team. They won over WT White 42-7 and WT Red 47-7.

The Lady Colts outscored West Texas 23-2 at halftime and only allowed four points for their opponent in the second half. Woodard led the way with 20 and Smith put in 11. Addy Havens finished with seven, and Eli Rodriguez and Estlack had two each.

In the final game, the Lady Colts executed their defensive attack and the WT Red team were helpless to make anything happen. Clarendon played solid basketball on both ends of the court.
Earlier in the week, the ladies easily rolled over Shamrock 35-9. They were able to run their offense like they wanted and the Lady Irish struggled to stop them.

Smith put in 10 and hit six of eight free throws and Woodard put in nine. Rodriguez had fie, Havens put in four, Murillo had one three pointer, and Williams finished with three.
