“The goal for this game was to get everyone involved,” said Lady Trojan head coach Katina Walker.

The Lady Trojans outscored the Sandies 14-6 to earn a three-point advantage, 21-18, at the end of the first half.
The teams went back and forth in the third period, but the Beeville girls added one point to their margin by scoring 15 points to take a 36-29 lead into the final stanza.

The Calhoun rally never materialized, and the Beeville girls lifted their overall record to 21-5 and their district mark to 3-1 with the win.
“We did a great job of controlling Calhoun’s inside game and made someone else try and beat us. Ciara, Theresa, Brennan and Paige were able to clean up underneath the basket as well as power it in when posting up,” said Walker.
