A two point first half lead for the Lady Cats and a one point lead at the end of the third quarter failed to secure a win for the locals as they began District 15 5-A competition Tuesday night on the road in Longview. The Lady Lobos outscored the Lady Cats 21-18 in the second half to gain a one point win, 41-40.
Both teams had met before with the Lady Lobos having the advantage in that game as well. However, the Lady Cats defensive performance made for a close game this week. Daieyshia Pruitt led Lady Cat scoring with 12. Kaylee Jefferson scored 11 and had 8 rebounds. Lexie Moore added 7 and Sadavia Porter and Tori Moore each contributed 5.
