Lady Falcons fall to Union City

 


JP Productions Sports

A slow start doomed the Lady Falcons as Lake County fell behind early on the way to a 62-34 loss to the Lady Tornados at Union City on Tuesday night.

A balanced scoring attack by Union City in the opening quarter set the tone for the night as Lake County was held to just a bucket and a free throw by Mariah Valentine and a deuce from Kaitlin Jones to trail 14-5 after one quarter.

With an eight-point quarter by Uriah Davis in the second frame, Union City began to pull away in the latter part of the first half. Laken Chism had a strong finish to the first half with a ten-point quarter but the Lady Falcons found themselves trailing 33-15 at the half.

Led by four points from Chism in the third quarter, the Lake County girls were held to just eight points in the first eight minutes of the second half. Meanwhile, Union City tacked on a dozen more to take a 45-23 lead into the final frame.

From there, the Lady Tornados cruised to the 28-point win in district play.

Chism led the way for the Lady Falcons with 16 points while Johnson and Valentine each added eight.

Lake County returns to action on Friday when the Lady Falcons host Dresden at 6 p.m.

The game marked the first career win for new Dyer County Head Coach Justin Dubruiel. It was also the first win by a Choctaw team at Dyersburg since 2007. “It was good,” Dubruiel said following the win. “It was good for our kids and good for Dyer County. “Whenever you can beat Dyersburg, it’s a fun night for everybody.” Trailing by a touchdown at the half, Dyer County was able to get a stop on defense, forcing a three-and-out. On the ensuing punt, Choctaw juni...

  Jason Peevyhouse JP Productions Sports Thanks to a stellar second half which saw the Trojans outscore Haywood 45-23, the Dyersburg boys will play for a region championship for the first time since 2004 after the black and gold’s 68-55 win over the Tomcats on Tuesday night in Newbern. "I think our kids were extremely engaged from the tip," Dyersburg Head Coach Blaine Mahaffey said. "I thought we rebounded well all night.  "And then, in the second half, when we were able to play a little bit better offensively, I think it showed up more." Trailing by nine at the break, the Trojans cut it to eight early in the second half but a three-pointer from Haywood put the Tomcats back up 35-24 with just over seven minutes left in the frame. Dyersburg went on a tear after a Breyden Turnage bucket was followed by a layup from AJ Higgins. This opened up four-minute stretch which saw the Trojans outscore Haywood 19-3 and was capped by a Jeff Cobb three-point play and tw...
