The Berryville Lady Bobcats didnt play poorly in two losses last week. They simply were the victims of bad timing and bad luck.
Berryville lost 2-1 to Dardanelle on Tuesday, April 13, then gave up a second-half lead in a 3-2 loss to Gentry on Friday.
Against Dardanelle, Berryville fell behind 1-0, then fought back in the second half to tie the score on a goal by Lucy Reyes. But the Lady Bobcats were called for a handball-in-the-box penalty with about five minutes remaining, and the Lady Sand Lizards converted the penalty kick for 2-1 victory.
Against Gentry, Berryville led 2-1 on goals by Lauren Compton and Reyes and seemed to be in control.

The Berryville Lady Bobcats split a pair of games last week, beating Prairie Grove 3-0 at Bobcat Stadium on Tuesday, April 6, before losing on the road to Shiloh Christian, 2-1, on Thursday.
Against Prairie Grove, the Lady Bobcats had to play into a howling wind in the first half, but took a 2-0 lead on a penalty kick by Lauren Compton and a goal by Mia Thurman.
A red card left the Lady Bobcats one player short for the entire second half, but Berryville was able to hang on.
Luckily that was a strong wind and we were going with the wind and we could just send long balls when we needed to, Berryville coach Aaron Hall said. And its hard to move the ball down the field into the wind.

The Berryville Lady Bobcats ran into one of the states top Class 4A teams on Wednesday, March 3, in the first round of the 4A North regional tournament in Ozark.
Morrilton beat Berryville 58-33 at the Hillbilly Activity Center, ending a season in which the Lady Bobcats seemed to overachieve just by reaching the regional.
Theyre a really good team, Berryville coach Daniel Cornelison said of Morrilton. Watching film, I knew they were really athletic and they had a couple of kids that could really shoot it. And they rebound. Just a really good basketball team. And I think they prove that they won the regional.

With a little less than three minutes remaining in last Mondays game against Gravette, the Berryville Lady Bobcats had a prime opportunity to throw in the towel and head into the offseason.
But thats not the Lady Bobcats style.
Instead, Berryville responded to the late-game adversity by cranking up their defensive intensity and outscored Gravette 9-2 over the final 2:37 to secure a 54-49 victory in the quarterfinals of the 4A-1 district tournament. The win sent the Lady Bobcats into a district semifinal game the following night at Pea Ridge but more importantly clinched a spot for Berryville in next weeks district tournament at Ozark.
