Lady Tigers drop last home Game
By Marty Mayfield

Tough night
for the Lady Tigers as both teams finish the home basketball season with losses
to Robertson Friday night in Tiger Gym.
The JV
girls took an early led and stayed that way until late in the fourth quarter
when a Lady Cardinal rally tied the score and ultimately pulled ahead leaving
the Lady Tigers in the dust. As the buzzer sounded ending the game the Lady
Cardinals had won by 12 with a 49-37 final.
The varsity
game however was a struggle for the Lady Tigers as they got off to a slow and
dismal shooting game, as the saying goes we couldn’t by a basket. By the first
quarter buzzer Raton was down 17-5.
The Lady
Tigers however didn’t give in yet a strong and aggressive Lady Cardinal defense
created turnovers that resulted in points and further widened the deficit.
The
struggle continued into the third quarter and the free throw line wasn’t a
friend for the Lady Tigers either as they didn’t get there as often as
Robertson. Raton went to the free throw line only nine times and scored only
three points.
Yet as the
game wore on the Lady Tigers seemed to draw the short end of any confrontation
sending Robertson to the charity stripe eight times in the second half alone.
Fourth
quarter action however saw a Lady Tiger rally that closed the 30 point game by
10, yet far to little to late in the game for the Lady Tigers leaving the final
score Robertson 63 Raton 39.
District
playoff action will begin the week of the February 20, so stay tuned to KRTN
for up to date times, dates and location for Tiger and Lady Tiger Basketball.
