“We played a great game defensively and handled the Beaverette pressure well, but our shots just wouldn’t fall,” said Lady Eagle head coach Darcy Siddon.
The home team jumped to an 11-7 lead at the end of one quarter and doubled that to a 25-17 advantage by halftime. The Lady Eagles got two points back in the third period but still trailed 33-27.
The Beaverettes scored 16 in the fourth quarter to put the game out of reach and they captured a 49-35 victory.
Lindsay P. led the Pettus scoring with 12 points and completed a double-double with 10 rebounds. Tori Garza and Sarah Gill each had eight points. Jessica Stanley helped out with seven points and five caroms. Paige Fox had a big game defensively with six rebounds, six steals and two assists on offense.
The two teams entered the match with identical 3-0 district records. Pettus falls to 3-1 over the first round of district play while the Beaverettes remain the top team in district at 4-0.
