It was disappointing loss to the Saltillo Lady Lions, as they traveled to "take-on" the #1 State Ranked Neches, in Grand Saline, on Wednesday night. The game had originally been scheduled for Tuesday night, but was delayed one more night, due to bad weather.

 

 

The "match-up" was tied at 18-all, at the halftime intermission, with the Lady Lions being able to "keep up" with the Lady Tigers during the first half. However, the second half was a different story, when the Neches Lady Tigers managed to score 33 points, opposed to the Lady Lions' 17 points.

 

 

 

 

The Lady Lions found out during the second half of the game, just how quick and fast the Lady Tigers could be, and why they were ranked #1 in the state.

 

 

Stats for Wednesday night's match-up are as follows:

Neches         11  7  14  20  -50

Saltillo          8  10  4  13  —35

Scoring: Neches-Roddricka Patton-14, Dianna Patton-11, Kristen Green-9, Raven McFarland-7, Kelcie Kinder-10; Saltillo-Karli Brewer-2, Victoria Stretcher-14, Ericka Mobley-3, Brooke Lane-5, Alexsa Burkett-2, Kimber Thompson-9

 

 

Congratulations on a great season,
Lady Lions!!!
