Lady Tigers bit by Rattlers

The Lady Tigers played a

great defensive game last

Friday night when they faced

off against Baggs but were

hampered by some ball control

issues and missed shots

in the second half of their

tough loss to the Lady Rattlers

51-43. “We failed to

make some plays down the

stretch and that was the difference

in the outcome,” head

coach Amy Clay said.

Courtney James put up

20 points and was 5 of 7

from the 3-point line and

Cassidy Little contributed

12 points and five assists.

Alyssa Barkhurst had a big

game under the basket with

8 points, six assists, four

steals and 10 rebounds.

Konnar Knotwell had 3

points and five rebounds.

Despite the loss, coach

Clay was optimistic, “We are

playing our best basketball

right now. I’m pleased with

our man defense, it continues

to improve ... I expect us to

play hard and stay focused,”

said Clay.

The Lady Tigers are looking

forward to regionals

where they play the No. 2

ranked team, the Burlington

Huskies at 2 p.m. Thursday

in Lander.
