Madi Taylor made nine points, Shayla Foster, Faith Thomas, and Jamye Durham netted two each, and Madeline Freeman added 11 rebounds.
“I felt like it was one of our best defensive efforts we have put together this year,” stated coach, Broc Adams. “Lavaca is a good team and is well-coached so it speaks to how hard these girls prepared to come out with a win against them!” For District semi-finals, the Lady Hornets will go to battle against the #2 seeded Mountainburg Lady Dragons on Thursday, February 20 at 6:30 p.m. in Hector. “It doesn’t get any easier with Mountainburg. Coach Dean does a great job with them! We will have to identify their shooters and work to secure rebounds so they don’t get any second chance opportunities!”
