During the Thanksgiving break, the Panola Fillies found themselves being tested by some undoubtedly difficult teams. The Fillies split the weekend and came out with 1 win and 1 loss. 

On Friday, the Fillies faced last year's Division 2 National Champions, Johnson County. After hitting the first 3 of 3 from the field to open the game, the Fillies would quickly lose the lead and lose their run. Johnson came into the second quarter ready to play and took the half 18-31.

Freshman Patience Okpe would start the third quarter with a deep 3. Now down 10, freshman Stefany Lourenco would find her own little streak scoring 6 back-to-back points to bring the Fillies within 4. Johnson County found a way to survive that quarter coming out on top 37-44. In the fourth, the Fillies were unstoppable, holding the Cavaliers to 10 points. The Fillies we able to find-a-way, as Patience Okpe lead all scorers with 31 points, a new career high, and came out victorious with a 61-54 win.

The Fillies then faced a strong and talented Tallahassee Community College on Saturday morning. The full court pressure from the Eagles seemed to be too much as they handed the Fillies their first loss on the season. While only down 2 points at half time, the Fillies found themselves turning the ball over too many times, giving the Eagles a 90-71 win. Sophomore Genesis Rivera would lead her team with 17 points. 

The Fillies now 7-1 (1-0 in conference) will face Angelina College on November 30th, at 5:30 pm in A.J. Gymnasium.
