Tuckerman
The Piggott Lady Mohawks fell victim to the press, and three-point-shooting, of the Tuckerman Lady Bulldogs Monday night as they dropped a 39-54 conference game at PHS.
In the early going neither team was able to gain much advantage, and after the first quarter Tuckerman enjoyed a lead of 18-13 over the home team. The visitors then outscored the Lady Mohawks 9-4 in the second quarter as they extended the lead to 27-17 by the halftime break.
In the third quarter of play the Lady Bulldogs doubled-up the Tribe, outscoring the Piggott girls 14-7, as they led 41-24 going into the final frame. And although the Mohawks outscored the visitors 15-13 in the fourth quarter it was too-little-too-late.
On the game the Mohawks were led in scoring by Mallory Wright with 11, while Penny McCluskey and Taylor Coomer had eight each and Heather Scott and Breanna Wright had five apiece. Amanda McGhee led the Lady Bulldogs with 22.
