Lady Bulldogs

times use the phrase, "we'll take what they give us," and Howe

Head Coach Derek Lands optimized that ol' saying in Whitewright when the Lady Tigers tried to limit the big game of Howe The Lady Bulldogs responded with Anderson's big night and an offensive reemergence of Jenna Honore, who has been dealing with an injured right wrist for the majority of the season Honore gets to the foul line where she is dangerous as seen Tuesday when she shot 4for-5 While the Lady Tigers tried to limit Howe's post presence, Ally Harvey racked up 14 points

Howe got off to a hot start with a 17-6 lead after the first and took a 30-20 lead into the dressing room at the half Howe also won the third period, 18-12 and the fourth 12-8 en route to the win

Behind Anderson's 19, Harvey's 14, and Honore's 10 were Calley Vick (8), Copeland (4), Molly Wilson (2), Katie Grogan (2), and Gianna Henry (1)

On Friday night, it was back to the inside dominance game of Harvey and Copeland Howe didn't get off to quite the hot start that they've enjoyed recently but did finish the first period with a 16-13 lead The Lady Bulldogs completely owned the secondperiod thanks to a 27-5 With 1:48 left in the second period, freshman Trinity Williams made her presence known as she immediately hit a 15-footer from the left wing for her first varsity points With the Howe crowd and the Howe bench overwhelmingly approving of the freshman's debut, she responded only fourteen seconds later with a 3-pointer and Howe led at the half, 43-18.

In the third period with 4:45 remaining, Vick made a slick pass to Anderson who drained a runner to give Howe a 28 point lead with Harvey scoring seconds later to up the lead to 30 forcing a timeout by Blue Ridge

Copeland was once again dominant by scoring 22 points and ripping down nine rebounds Harvey clocked in at 14 points and Honore was perfect from the foul line as she tallied 10 Other scorers were Anderson (9), Vick (7), Williams (5), and Henry (3)

Howe's state ranking in the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches (TABC) was 18th in Class 3A This week's new ranking will be announced sometime today.

The Lady Bulldogs will play at Bells on Tuesday and at home against rival Van Alstyne on Friday night

In looking forward to the playoffs, District 10, which Howe is in, will play District 9 If Howe wins the district title, they would play the fourth seed from District 9 which could be S&S, Gunter, or Callisburg District 9 leaders are Pottsboro and Ponder
