The Des Moines Lady Demons hosted the Class B district 1 championships Thursday night and played a much improved Mosquero Lady Pirates. The coaches for both teams are brothers and it is fun to watch how they play against each other.
The Lady Pirates had a slow start but once they got things going they stayed within striking distance for most of the first half of the game. Yet the hot hand of Dakota Martinez who scored eight 3-pointers on the night helped Des Moines widen the lead.
The Lady Pirates pulled to within 12 points in the second half yet were running out of steam and Des Moines widened the lead to 20 and more then more by the buzzer. Des Moines played a physical game as they always do and then went into a ball control game in the fourth working the shots inside.
