Coach Bryan Jones and his squad take a bit of a breather prior to a Friday road game, their second game in three away from the friendly confines of the SSHS Main Gym.
Tuesday is a bye for Sulphur Springs before they play at Ford on Friday night.
Lady Cat basketball hopes to improve upon their three-game winning streak.
Last week Sulphur Springs played a road and home game, beating New Boston on the road 51-46 then taking care of Cooper at home 55-40.
That, and a tournament win over Whitehouse the weekend before in Winnsboro, and Coach Jones’s team has upped their winning streak to three games.
Their win over the Lady Bulldogs on Friday, Dec. 9 once again came thanks to even scoring. Two Lady Cats, Kenzie Willis and Trinity Jefferson, finished in double-figures.
The former finished with a double-double, getting 10 rebounds in the 55-40 win on Friday.
Four more Sulphur Springs players scored eight or nine points; Kaylee and Kyra Carter (both at eight), with Trinity Jefferson and Rainey Johnson getting nine in the victory.
Coach Jones’s team kept Cooper at arms’ length throughout the majority of Friday’s contest. The game generally stayed a 13-15 point lead for Sulphur Springs, besides a sluggish second-half opening. The Lady Cats made some errors in the third to keep the Lady Bulldogs in the game, but quickly regained momentum to put Cooper away for good, 55-40.
Friday was a solid victory for the Lady Cats.
The win on Friday, Dec. 9 is the third straight for Sulphur Springs, now 11-4 on the season.
Women’s basketball has a bye on Tuesday, but hits the road on Friday taking on Ford.
That game tips off in Quitman on Friday, Dec. 16 at 6:15 P.M.
