This week was all on the road for the Fillies. To start their two game road stint, they went to Kilgore, TX to take on the Lady Rangers. The Lady Rangers are an athletic, aggressive, and very good rebounding team. Going into the match up, the Lady Rangers were 3-4 in conference play. The first quarter of play opened up and both teams were able to find the basket early on. A couple of turnovers and quite a bit of offensive rebounds given up led to the Fillies finding themselves down by 4 at the end of the first quarter, 14-18. In the second quarter, the Fillies were able to get some stops and put up some points. The lady Rangers were still very dominant on the offensive glass getting them some second chance opportunities. However, the FIllies kept battling which led to a 1 point lead going into halftime up, 38-37. After halftime, the Fillies came out with a vengeance. Score stop score was the motto. The Fillies out scored the Lady Rangers 23-10. In the fourth quarter, the Lady Rangers were able to force turnovers and continue their very dominant rebounding performance. However, the Fillies were able to continue to find the basketball and hold off the Lady Rangers for a road win to finish up the first round of conference play. Some notable performances were #11- Avery Young with 26 pts (3-3 from 3pt)& 3 ast and #5- Gionna Carr with 12 pts & 6 reb.
