The Lady Broncos took care of Quanah early in the week, but fell short against Wheeler at home Friday night.
The ladies defeated Quanah 40-37 with Taylor DeGrate leading the way on the scoreboard with 15 points.
The Lady Broncos had a slow start and trailed until the fourth quarter. The Lady Indians never put the game out of reach, and the Lady Broncos were determined to get the win and turned up their defensive heat in the final eight minutes.
Taylor Gaines also finished in double figures with 10 to help in the win. Carlee Johnson had seven, Allyson Grahn had four, and Hannah Howard and Skyler White each helped with two.
On Friday, the ladies played hard, but could not overcome turnovers and were defeated 51-57. Wheeler was able to jump out on top and set the early tempo of the game. But the Lady Broncos did not give up and worked hard to get back into the game. They chipped away at the Lady Mustang lead and got back to within two points in the final minutes of the game.
Crucial turnovers spelled doom for the ladies as the final buzzer sounded. Degrate and Grahn gave a great offensive effort to lead the Lady Broncos on the scoreboard with 17 each and Gaines added 11. Jensen Hatley put in three, Hannah Hommel had two, and Johnson put in one.
The Lady Broncos will travel to Shamrock on Friday, February 6, and face off against Wellington at home on Tuesday, February 10, to end their regular season.
