The Lady Broncos played three good teams in the Nazareth Tournament last week. Shallowater and Tulia from 3A and 2A Abernathy.
The Lady Broncos played solid against Shallowater in the opening round and only lost by two points at 58-60. Presley Smith was on fire finishing with 19 points and Kenidee Hayes added 12. Berkley Moore put in nine, and Kate Shaw had eight. Shaw has returned to her spot under the basket after a long year of recuperating from a knee injury a year ago. Cambree Smith put in five, Madi Benson added four, and Millie McAnear helped with one.
The ladies trailed by five at the break, but put together a great third quarter of play to close the gap to one. Time ran out and they finished two points behind. They finished the game with 12 three-pointers and converted eight of eleven free throws.
They went up against Tulia in the second game and ran away with a 61-17 win over the Lady Hornets.
They were unstoppable as they shot 100 percent from the bonus line and knocked down three three-pointers in the game. Moore played solid and turned in 15 points to lead the way, and McAnear and C. Smith had eight each. P. Smith and Hayes had seven each, and Shaw and Ellis put in six apiece, while Kinslee Hatley and Benson helped with two each.
The Lady Broncos took on Abernathy in the final game and were defeated 43-59. The Lady Broncos gave their all in the game going toe-to-toe with the strong team and the game was closer than the score revealed.
Hayes and Shaw scored 11 points each to lead the way, and P. Smith and Ellis helped with five points each. More and Benson finished with four apiece, and C. Smith had three.
The ladies will travel to Perryton on December 12 and begin their District schedule December 16.
