Lady Bulldogs win

Lady Bulldogs take down Bonham with late rally

The Howe Lady Bulldogs (3-5, 13) got their first district win Tuesday with a 39-33 come-frombehind win over Bonham at home. Playing without Sierra Copeland, Howe found themselves tied after the first period at 15. Howe carried a 24-22 halftime lead, but trailed Bonham, 32-29 headed to the fourth quarter. However, the Lady Bulldogs pumped the gas in the fourth to outpace the Lady Warriors, 10-1 in the final stanza. Howe was led in scoring by Trinity Williams with 15, followed by Kendall Griffin’s 10. Teagan Stubblefield ripped down 11 rebounds. Other scorers were Landery Sanders (4), Katie Grogan (4), Matalee Stewart (4), Stubblefield (1), and Avery Snapp (1).

The Howe Bulldogs game with Bonham was postponed due to a COVID outbreak in Bonham. The Howe boys will play Celeste on Dec. 29.
