Lady Comanches remain winless in District play

January 21, 2012

The West Texas Lady Comanches were still looking for their first District win last night as they hosted the Lady Elks from Stratford. They put up a good fight, but they finished the first half of District without a win, falling to Stratford 29-25 in a low scoring contest.
Neither team started the game strong as the first quarter ended with both teams posting 4 points.
The second was a little better point wise, but both had numerous turnovers. Abby Rios had a nice effort with a rebound, a bucket, and a steal. Erin Summers hit a three to put WT up 9-6. The Lady Elks tied the game at 10 with a little over two minutes left in the half, but the Lady Elks took a 15-12 lead into the locker room at halftime.
Each team added seven points to their totals in the third quarter. Sarah Kelly went 2-2 at the foul line. Cheyenne Tull blocked an Elk shot and Alyssa Snider came up with the ball and hit Tull with a nice pass on the other end for a bucket. The third ended with WT still trailing 22-19.
Neither team could muster much offense in the fourth period either. Stratford put up 7 and WT 6. Abby Summers was 2-2 at the free throw line and Katelyn Wilson made a bucket and a free throw. WT closed in within a point with 1:20 to go, 25-26 but they were force to foul to stop the clock and the Lady Elks managed to go 3-5 at the line to keep WT at bay and take the win 29-25.
Tull had 7 points, 6 rebounds, and a steal. Wilson score 6 points, 7 boards, and 2 steals. The second round of loop action starts Tuesday with Gruver at home.
