Both the Fillies and Mustangs had to come from behind
to gain district wins last Friday night over the Hollow
Rock-Bruceton Lady Tigers and Tigers. Both games were
highly contested and close as Huntingdon pulled out both
victories.
In the opening contest the Lady Tigers took the early
lead, with an 8-7 advantage after one period and 22-18
at intermission. The third quarter, the Fillies came out
hitting just a little better and took a 33-31 advantage
by the end of three before winning the game 48-40.
Payten Butler led the Fillies with 18, followed by
Jessica Carlton with a three-pointer and 11, Jessica
Hilliard with nine, Casey Henson with a three-pointer
and five, Courtney Henson and Ashlee Porter with two
each and Chasity Strayhorn with one.
Ernicka Willis led the Lady Tigers with 14, followed by
Heather King with eight, Heaven Wilks with six, Jessica
Willis and Beatrice King with four each and Alyssa
Malacara and Elise Malacara with two each.
In the night’s second game, the Tigers led for three
quarters before the Mustangs Chris Donald and Brent
Taylor scored eight and six respectively in the fourth
period to help the Stangs take the lead.
The Tigers led 14-12 after one, 29-22 at intermission
and 35-31 after three before losing the game 56-52. The
final period, Chris Donald led the Stangs with eight
while Brent Taylor added six to push the Stangs in front
despite the 11-point effort from Tiger Kerry Hunt.
Donald and Blake Hampton led the Stangs with 11 each,
followed by Taylor with eight, Will Atkins and Garrett
Meggs with seven each, Desmond Townes with six, Justin
Hampton with four and Roy Carter with two.
Orey Willis led the Tigers with 22, followed by Hunt
with 20, Tanner Stepp with eight and Russell Noles with
two.
Meggs hit the only three-pointer for the Stangs while
Stepp hit two for the Tigers and Willis and Hunt had one
each.
