The Bryant Blue Lady Hornets seventh-grade team of Bethel Middle School started off well but just couldn’t hang on as the Lake Hamilton Lady Wolves rallied for a 27-22 win on Monday night.
“It was a close game, but we came up short at the end,” said Lady Hornets coach Olivia Allard. “The girls played really well and worked as a team and that’s all you can ask for as a coach. We, for sure, have room to grow and improve, but they are getting better every game.”
The Lady Hornets led 8-2 after a quarter but Lake Hamilton surged in the second quarter and, at halftime, led 14-11.
The two teams played even in the third quarter then the Lady Wolves were able to extend the 22-19 lead down the stretch.
Vivian Spradlin led the Lady Hornets with 12 points. Elisa Surratt added 5 points, Rachel Havens 3 and Grace Cheak 2.
Tonight, Bryant Blue is scheduled to play Bryant White at the Bryant Middle School gym.
