PANOLA WOMEN'S BASKETBALL NOW 4-0

 

The Fillies are off to a 4-0 win streak after a tough win over Ranger
College Saturday morning. "I'm really proud of the effort the team gave
this weekend" Head Coach Kite says. "We didn't play as well as I would like
this game, but the team showed that our defense could be a difference maker
this season".
 
And defense was indeed the difference maker. Panola struggled offensively
in the first quarter, starting off with 5 turnovers just before they got
the ball rolling. Ranger scored the first two buckets back to back, being
the largest and only lead for them throughout the game. A short jumper from
Freshman Daria Eremeeva
an "And-1" from sophomore Denasia Watson
tied the game at 4 apiece. After a free throw conversion from freshman Nailah
Beyah-Blount
the Fillies were back on top.
 
The game would later become tied in the second quarter at 19, but Panola
held off the Rangers there just before half time. After a technical foul in
the start of the third quarter from the Fillies, Ranger came within 1, but
would never take the lead again.
 
The fillies came up with 7 steals, took two charges, and pulled down 19
defensive rebounds. Defense was the key to the victory. "We're giving up
less than 60 points a game right now that says a lot about how hard the
team is working
 
Freshman Patience Okpe
and
sophomore Genesis Rivera
lead
the Filles with 12 points apiece.
 
The Fillies return back in action Tuesday night at 5:30pm in Arthur Johnson
Gymnasium
