opportunity for Howe to claim stake on their sixth consecutive bidistrict crown.
Howe had their opportunities and looked to be in command as junior Calley Vick was fouled on Whitesboro’s seventh team foul which gave Vick a one-and-one opportunity She hit the first shot that gave Howe a 43-39 lead with 45 6 seconds remaining Vick’s second shot rimmed out which gave Whitesboro the ball in the hands of their point guard Karlee Schuessler who drilled a 3-pointer with 30 seconds remaining to cut the Howe lead to one point With 22 seconds left in the game, senior leading scorer Peyton Streetman was fouled Howe’s most accomplished free-throw shooter missed the front-end of the oneand-one and that set up the gamewinner by Monk

Whitesboro Head Coach James Garner’s game plan was to try and take Streetman out of the game
That plan was mostly successful early in the game as the pig-tailed princess only scored four points (all free-throws) in the first quarter and the Lady Cats shut her out in the second quarter The Lady Bulldogs were unable to make up for the offensive production and struggled to pull away at any point in the game

Continued from page 1 page 6 did to Whitesboro at the end of the first half With 3:28 left to go in the second period, the Lady Cats led 17-9 and appeared to be stretching away from Howe But sophomore Cassidy Anderson made a slick pass to Harvey for a two-foot jumper that put Howe within six Streetman then pulled off a quick pass in the lane to Harvey who hit another short jumper to bring Howe within four at 17-13 with 2:18 left before the half Streetman then hit
