The Brownwood Lady Lions’ scrappiness was on full display Saturday afternoon at Warren Gym as they controlled the second half en route to a 57-51 triumph over the Class 2A No. 10 Cisco Lady Loboes.
“We played extremely hard for four quarters,” said Lady Lions 12th-year head coach Heather Hohertz. “We made some mistakes but we didn’t let that bother us. We had a next play mentality.”
Fresh off a 48-35 win at Goldthwaite Friday night, the Lady Lions (5-6) came one point shy of matching their season-high in points Saturday.
“Friday night was a big confidence booster, it’s like we were in a rut and couldn’t get out of it” Hohertz said. “Last night really helped and that momentum fed over to today. I told them Cisco played last night, too, so there’s no excuse to be tired, and for four quarters they stepped it up and came out and played a really good ball game.”
