“Had we been playing at the level

that we have been playing, we would

h a ve and sh oul d h a ve beat t hem

easily,” Ha ll said. “We played OK

def ens e, but we c ould not get our

shots to go in again. We were only 2-

14 from the free throw line. The girls

worked hard on defense but were not

at all themselves.”

Aransas Pass. The Lady Marlins JV

team beat AP in two games earlier

this year, but the Lady Panthers JV

managed to eek out a win, 39-37, over

the Lady Marlins JV in the Ingleside

tournament.

“We started (strongly) like we always

do and then fizzled at the end,”

Hall s aid. “T he girl s were p laying

their fourth game in three days, and it

was showing a little in this game. To

their credit, they hung in and battled

and almost pulled it out at the end.”
