Lady Tigers fall to Farson

The Encampment Lady Tigers had one of the few games unaffected by descent into subzero temperatures and snowfall over the weekend as they hosted the Farson-Eden Lady Pronghorns.

“We came out super flat and gave up a 13-point lead,” said Kevin Pantle, head coach of the Encampment Lady Tigers. “I think the girls got nervous, we had not played a game since Rock River and I think it showed”.

Pantle said the Lady Tigers made an effort to make a comeback and at times got the game close but in the end Encampment had no answers to win the game. He added foul trouble was a big obstacle that cost the Lady Tigers the game.

“On the positive side, we did come back and make a game out of it. We got the lead down to 5 points several times but just couldn’t finish,” Pantle said. “Kyenna Jackson is a force inside and she was in foul trouble in the first half and the fourth quarter when she fouled out with 3 minutes still to play. When you do not have a deep bench and young players, it will make for some coaching and match-up challenges for sure”.

The final score was 46-36, Farson-Eden.

With their loss to the Lady Pronghorns, the Encampment Lady Tigers are 5-5 for the season and 0-1 for conference. They will host the Saratoga Lady Panthers (2-4, 0-0) on January 16. This will be the Lady Panthers’ first conference game of the season.

They will be hosted by the Little Snake River Valley (LSRV) Lady Rattlers (7-4, 0-0) at noon on January 20 in Baggs.
