The Lady Broncos claimed the Area Championship in Childress Friday night when they defeated the Quanah Lady Indians 51-38. The win has kept the ladies in the play off scene and will have played the Regional Quarterfinal game by press time.
The Lady Broncos led throughout the game, but suffered foul trouble with inside strength McKayla Cartwright. The post player finished with only four points. Despite the setback inside, the ladies continued to hustle and were able to get crucial stops down the stretch. They shot 74 percent from the free throw line, which kept them on top of their opponent. Jentry Shadle and Ryann Starnes hit crucial three-pointers, and Starnes and Anna Ceniceros combined for nine out of twelve bonus points. Several players came alive in the final period of play to keep the Lady Broncos alive.
“It was a good win for us considering we had 10 days off,” head coach Molly Weatherred said. “We could tell that it had been awhile since we had played, so we will need to clean some things up.”
Scoring: Shadle 17, Starnes 11, Deborah Howard 7, Ceniceros 5, Cartwright 4, Lydia Howard 4, and Audrey Shelton 3.
