By Vivian Risch-
The Wednesday night girls game went to Union County, 36-32. The following Saturday at noon, the Patriots held off the Tigers, 44-43.
The Hagerstown Lady Tigers jumped out to a quick 4-0 lead against Union County last week, but trailed, 14-8, going into the second quarter. UC wrapped four 3-point field goals around Carly McCashland’s steal and 2-point basket in a 14-4 run to close out the first quarter.
Union County finished the game with 13 field goals and nine were 3-pointers.
“We’ve got to find more ways to score,” UC coach Scott Gray said. “We missed some shots in the lane, but 27 to nothin’ on 3-pointers.”
The Lady Pats were up, 14-6, at the first quarter break and led 20-16 at the halftime intermission.
“We did not play well,” Gray said. “But I would rather win ugly than not win at all.”
The Lady Pats didn’t score a 3-pointer in the third quarter. But Hagerstown came back after halftime with a 10-4 run to close within two, 26-24, at the three-quarter stop.
Senior Brooke Fields set UC on the right path with five consecutive points at the top of the fourth period. The junior point guard scored a pair of free throws followed by the first of two Fields 3-point field goals to help the Lady Pats’ 36-32 TEC win over the Lady Tigers.
Fields finished with 15 points, including, four 3-point field goals to lead all scorers. Hagerstown senior Maddie Ward led the Lady Tigers with 13 points.
Jr. Lady Pats win
Hagerstown was without a junior varsity, so UC Athletic Director Ryan Overholt found a replacement – Franklin County, actually Franklin County’s C team. It was good experience for both teams.
The C Lady Wildcats fell to Union County’s JV, 27-6.
Next opponent
The Lady Patriots go to Winchester on Saturday and then play in the Waldron Invitational on Saturday, Dec. 28.
