The Lady Broncos took on the Lockney Lady Longhorns at home last Tuesday night and finished with a 57-33 win. According to coach Korey Conkin, the ladies began slow, but regained their offense and were able to put points on the board.
After playing the first quarter the ladies led by three, but were able to put on a scoring show in the second eight minutes. They put 16 points on the board to take a sizable lead into the break.
“The girls played a great game,” Conkin said. “We had trouble early, missing too many easy buckets, but once we found our rhythm, it was good. Our defense keeps getting better with time and we are learning to control our bodies and stay out of foul trouble.”
The Lady Broncos shot 50 percent from the free throw line and had 19 total fouls.
Berkeley Alexander was strong inside for the ladies and finished with 21 points to lead the Lady Broncos on the scoreboard. She also made 75 percent of her free throws. Brianna Butler went five for seven from the bonus line and put in 15 points to help her team. Shaelyn Owiti had nine, which include one three-pointer, and Hannah Hommel added six. Emily Johnson had four, Hannah Howard 2, and Briley Chadwick 1.
The Lady Broncos will participate in the Miami Tournament December 1-3 and play Vega at home on Tuesday, December 6, beginning at 6:30 p.m.
