The Lady Broncos put together four solid quarters of basketball against Texline last week and earned a 35-21 win over the Lady Tornadoes helped by three big shots from the arc.
Preslee Smith led the way with 11 points, and Kenidee Hayes put in nine. Cambree Smith added eight, and Gracie Ellis finished with seven. P. Smith, C. Smith, and Ellis each knocked down a three-pointer, and Hayes and C. Smith converted three of four free throws apiece. Overall, the Lady Broncos shot 53 percent from the bonus line compared to 75 percent from Texline.
After trailing by one point in the opening eight minutes of play, the Lady Broncos took control offensively and played solid defense to give them the edge they needed to get the win. The second quarter was huge for the Lady Broncos as they put in 16 points to only one for the Lady Tornadoes.
The Lady Broncos will play their first home game on Saturday, November 15, against the McLean Lady Tigers beginning at 10:00 a.m. This game was originally scheduled for November 14 but was moved due to the Broncos’ playoff game with Windthorst Friday night.
