PEARCY — A fourth-quarter surge by the Lake Hamilton Lady Wolves eighth grade team produced a 29-27 win over the Bryant White Lady Hornets eighth graders of Bryant Middle School on Saturday.
The Bryant White girls include[more] Mariah Aguilar, Jayla Anderson, Lindsey Butler, Mallory Curry, Katie Davidson, Jerrica Gray, Haley Holliman, Destiny Hoffman, Colleen Johnson, Miranda Lawrence, Taylor Lindberg, Makayla Nguyen, Alexis Parsely, Briana Rutherford, Sarah Shepard and Abby Staton.
“We played hard for three quarters and then just ran out of gas,” related Lady Hornets coach DeAnna Ward. “We spent a lot of time last week on shooting rather than conditioning and it showed. Shooting improved but we have to do a better job in the fourth quarter defensively.”
Anderson scored 7 points to lead the Lady Hornets’ scoring effort. She also had three rebounds. Davidson and Lindberg pitched in with 6 points apiece with both hitting the boards well. Lindberg hauled down 13 rebounds and Davidson 5.
Johnson contributed 4 points with Staton and Huffman each finishing with 2.
The Lady Hornets are set to return to action on Thursday, Dec. 9, at home against North Little Rock.
