Lady Cats drop second-round playoff game

The Whitehouse Lady Cats stormed into the state playoffs last Tuesday against Texas High fresh off of a nine-game winning streak in the district race. They were able to claim second place in district as they headed into their first round playoff game.

Following a 57-54 bi-district win, the girls faced off against Frisco in Terrell last Friday.

Even closer than their firstround game, the Lady Cats bowed out of the playoffs, losing a heart-breaker, 45-43.

After three periods, the Lady Cats found themselves down 36- 29, but with their backs against the wall, they fought back in the fourth quarter only to come up just short.

Sophomore Alicia Cordova and senior Brittani Toole provided most of the scoring punch on the night with 15 and 10 points, respectively, followed by junior Kayla Mason with 8.

"I have no regrets about this season and with these young ladies," said Coach Willie Hill. "They fought their hearts out all year long and especially tonight and have made believers of themselves along the way."

"The future of Lady Cat basketball looks bright, and we appreciate all of the support of the community," added Coach Hill.

The Lady Cats finish the season with a 22-11 season record and will lose just three seniors.
