After halftime, the Highlassies came out and put up 20 points to the Fillies 13. Going into the fourth the fillies turned up their defense with some full court pressure forcing s few turnovers. Being down by as much as 29 points, the Fillies kept fighting. Holding the Highlassies to 17 pts the final quarter allowed the fillies to end the game with a final score 73 Mclennan 50 Panola bringing their record to 4-1.
