Lady Lions Review
From the opening tip-off, it was clear both teams were ready to leave it all on the court. Led by the dynamic duo of Neeley Tilley-Bedick and Rylee Lavender, the Lady Lions came out swinging, showcasing their trademark grit and determination. Cailyn Tucker added her offensive prowess to the mix, controlling the pace and keeping the pressure on the Flying Queens.
After a low-scoring second quarter, the Lady Lions faced a sizable task to get back into the contest. However, Wendy Clemmons emerged as a force to be reckoned with in the second half, fighting valiantly to propel her team forward.
