Women’s basketball did everything they could to leave Longview with their heads held high and end their season on a good note.
Unfortunately for Coach Erica Delley’s squad, it did not prove to be so as the Lady Lobos edged by Sulphur Springs 29-26 on Tuesday, Feb. 8 in Longview.
The Lady Lobos held a six-point advantage heading into the second quarter at 13-7. The game would only get more tight from there.
Coach Delley’s team made a strong push before halftime, out scoring Longview 7-3 to trail by just two as both teams headed to the locker room.
Sulphur Springs continued to chip in to the Lady Lobo lead, as they actually pulled ahead 24-23 heading into the final quarter on the season.
In what proved to be another low-scoring quarter, Longview made their shots count as they outpaced the Lady Cats 6-3 to pull out a tough, 29-26 victory over Sulphur Springs.
While it may not have ended the way Coach Delley and her team may have wanted, they fought until the final whistle and just fell short of victory.
The loss to the Lady Lobos drops women’s basketball’s season at 4-26 (2-10 district).
Tuesday’s loss in Longview saw the last game that seniors Jasmine Taylor and Myssiah Dugan can suit up for this squad as both players graduate come May.
