Lady Broncos fall at home
In the first period the Lady Broncos came out cold and struggled from the field. But the Lady Eagles started the game red hot as they put 13 points on the board in the first four minutes of play.
Westmoreland’s man-on-man defense kept the Lady Broncos off the scoreboard until Tenera Jones was sent to the line as she hit one of two at the 3:12 mark, ending a 13-0 Lady Eagle scoring run.
Westmoreland added 11 points by the end of the period to give them a 24-5 lead, and padded that advantage through the second period while Boyd continued to struggle and managed only five points in the quarter. The Lady Eagles kept the offensive attack going with 15 points in the quarter to give them a 39-10 lead at the break.
In the third period Lydia Powell, Amanda Prater and Kati Sutton got things going on offense for the Lady Broncos as they combined for 10 points in the period.
The Bronco defense tried to put a stop to Westmoreland’s run-and-gun offensive style, but the Lady Eagles worked the ball around the court to find open shots, and hit for 15 points in the quarter.
In the final period Boyd allowed only four points by the Lady Eagles, and scored the last 13 points of the game before time ran off the clock stopping the Broncos’ run and giving Westmoreland the 21 point victory.
Sutton scored 14 points to lead the way for Boyd, and Prater had 12. Amber Hodge, Jones and Tabitha King hit for three points each and Powell added two points.
Leading the way for the Lady Eagles was Sarah Jones with nine points. Tara Black and Jenny Perry had eight points each.
