The Lady Tigers (3-3) jumped out to a 16-7 lead in the first half before building leads of 16 points at halftime, and 17 points entering the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTough loss on the road. The first half put us in too deep of a hole,\u201d Williamsburg coach Melissia Douglas said. \u201cIt\u2019s tough when you get the momentum back but run out of time to fully capitalize on it. The effort in the second half shows our team’s resilience, though. With that kind of fight, we are in a good position moving forward. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOverall, that’s a great mindset to have! It’s clear that the team’s effort and commitment to learning and applying new skills are paying off, even if the results didn’t reflect it this time,\u201d she added. \u201cProgress like this is crucial, and it will pay off in future games. Sometimes it\u2019s about the process and growth rather than just the outcome. With that focus on improvement, we building a strong foundation for success. I\u2019m very proud of each one but Hannah Creekmore is playing stronger each game and proving that she is a top player in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Layla Brock led Barbourville in scoring once again with 16 points while Macy Hoskins had nine points and Bre Engle added seven points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
