HUNTLAND — Despite trailing just 21-16, well-within striking distance, at the half on Tuesday night at Huntland, a lop-sided third quarter was more than the Lady Champs could overcome in a 32-62 loss to the Lady Hornets.
Huntland took immediate control of the scoreboard after an 11-1 run though the first quarter, with the Lady Champs’ lone point coming on a free throw by Sophie Ray.
Eventually, Cascade got the offensive wheels moving and out-scored its host 15-10 in the second quarter, trimming the Lady Hornet lead to just six points at the break.
The difference came in the third quarter when Cascade was plagued with turnovers and Huntland was able to convert into points on the board.
Logan McLennan totaled 10 of her game-high 18 points in the third period and Huntland was able to out-score Cascade, 24-4 in the frame.
Fouls became an issue for Cascade as Huntland made the Lady Champs pay and cashed in on their time at the free throw line, making good on 12-of-15 tries.
Cascade managed just 7-of-21 tries.
Despite the uneven third, Cascade never threw in the towel and fought to the end, rallying for 12 in the fourth quarter.
In total, seven Lady Champs scored on Tuesday at Huntland, with Kaegan Young’s nine-point night leading Cascade.
The Lady Champs were back on their home court on Friday night, however results were unavailable by press time.
