The Lady Roos hosted North Crowley on Thursday night and lost 36-33 in overtime. This is the Lady Roos second to last game of the year and is their last make up game from COVID quarantine.
The first quarter got off to a slow start with pace and saw the score tied 2-2 with four minutes remaining in the quarter. The action picked up quick, seeing the home team with the lead much of the time due to three pointers from McCenzie Wells and Abby Arwood.
The second quarter saw the Panthers jump out to a quick lead at 13-10 and even stretched it to 17-12 before Wells hit another three. The Lady Roos tied it up at 19 with a steal and lay-up by Hannah Kness with 1:42 left in the first half. After Arwood hit a runner in the lane that knotted the score up at 21 all, and that is where it stayed till halftime.
The second half saw the game go back and forth with the score but the Lady Roos saw Madison Buckley start to get hot getting four quick points. When Kilie Cummings hit two free throws with 4:07 left in the 3rd quarter the Lady Roos took their first lead of the second half.
The fourth quarter saw the Lady Roos go right back to Buckley in the post and get another quick two bringing the score to 33-31 North Crowley. The Panthers decided to then start the stall tactic in order to melt the clock for the next six minutes. The Roos hit two free throws, one by Kness and one by Buckley, to even the score with under a minute. After a miss Arwood got a big steal with 39 seconds to play and Coach Shearmire called timeout. The Panthers held the ball for the last shot to win it but it was blocked by Wells.
In the overtime period North Crowley got a quick bucket to go up 35-33. After a couple of turnovers on both sides the Lady Roos got a big steal from Cummings that gave them the ball, down 2 with 34 seconds to play but an offensive foul gave the ball back to North Crowley. After making one the Lady Roos got the rebound and had a shot to tie at the buzzer.
The Lady Roos played tough all night and played a playoff team in North Crowley quite the scare.

Madison Buckley 9
