Lady Broncos defeated by the PD Lady Dons

By Sandy Anderberg

The Lady Broncos hosted the Palo Duro Lady Dons last week and fell short 42-56.

The ladies were able to compete with the 5A school but were not able to make good on the three-ball like they normally do. Senior Madi Benson hit the only three-pointer for the Lady Broncos.

A slow start hindered the Lady Broncos as they fell behind 11 points in the opening eight minutes and trailed by 14 at the break. They also struggled somewhat at the bonus line hitting only six of 10 free shots in the game. But it was not in the Lady Broncos to give up as they were able to work their way back by outscoring the Lady Dons in the closing quarter to shrink PD’s lead before the buzzer.

Kenidee Hayes played solid for the Lady Broncos and put in 17 points that include hitting three of five from the bonus line and Benson and Gracie Ellis added seven each in the loss. Preslee Smith had five, Berkley Moore put in four, and Millie McAnear helped with two.
