Last night the Lavaca Golden Arrows traveled to Mountainburg and took on the Dragons. There were four games. Both Junior High teams and both High School teams played, and played big. The night started off with the Junior High girls. The junior Lady Dragons won this game 21–9. The junior Lady Arrows are getting better but still trying to find their rhythm. I have no doubt that they will make adjustments and get back in the winners column.
The Junior High boys are just amazing. They slayed the Dragon 51-19. Mountainburg just couldn’t beat the press. Avery Walker and Luke Watson were tenacious on defense. On offense the Arrows moved the ball well in the half court and used turn overs for fast break opportunities. The Junior Arrows remain perfect on the season.
Then it was time for the Lady Arrows of Lavaca. They Ladies answered the call by jumping out to a 16-0 lead to start the game before winning 49-38. Skylar Hyatt and BethAnn May led the team in scoring with 14 and 13 points respectively. The ladies were able to manage the game by minimizing mistakes. As long as these ladies continue to play as a team the way they did last night, they should be able to run through conference play and make a run at the post season.
The Arrows came into the game and established dominance right from the opening tip. Andrew Wright lead the team in points with 19. Jordan Fenner added another 16 in the 63-52 win. Cayden Hearn and Mark Miller were solid in the paint and Matt Melton also played very well. It was a total team effort. The Arrows ran the break well and stayed patient in the half court. This team is currently ranked 5th in class by Max Preps, but they are playing like a number 1.
Next up for the Arrows will be the 2-6 Magazine Rattlers on Tuesday at Magazine. Come on out and support your team. They are fun to watch and you wont be disappointed.
