Lady Panthers
drop two tilts
   BIRTHRIGHT — A 15-5 second quarter Detroit run was too much to overcome for the North Hopkins Lady Panthers as the Lady Eagles soared to a 42-20 District 16A win Friday night. Detroit added a 17-9 second half advantage to drop the Lady Panthers to 1-4 in district action.
   “We just can't get the ball in the basket. When you can't score, it is hard to win in this district,” Coach Larry Tucker said. "Our defensive play has been pretty good most of the time, but turnovers on offense just kill us. We continue to beat ourselves.’
   In another recent game, the North Hopkins Lady Panthers kept Avery star Taylor Bowles at bay from the field holding her to just four field goals, but the sharpshooter was a perfect 12-12 from the free throw line to score a game-high 20 points in leading keeping the Lady Bulldogs District 16A slate a perfect 3-0 with a 52-19 win.
   The Lady Panthers, down 25-11 at intermission, came out strong and cut the Avery lead to 25-15 two minutes into the third quarter, but then they went cold and would not score again until the final stanza after the Lady Bulldogs built a 36-15 advantage.
   As a team Avery was 20-26 from the charity stripe while North Hopkins only shot five free throws the entire game, making two.
   Macy Griner led the Lady Panthers with nine points and nine rebounds. North Hopkins is now 1-3 in district play.
   The Lady Panthers travel east to McLeod Tuesday to face the Lady Longhorns. There will be a boys JV game at 5 p.m. followed by the girls and boys varsity teams.
   The North Hopkins teams will have a bye this Friday, Jan.11. Next week, North Hopkins goes to James Bowie on Tuesday, Jan. 15, and host Honey Grove Friday Jan. 18.
