Vs. Natalia
Whenever Lytle and Natalia matchup, in any sport, it’s sure to be a show. This game between the Lady Pirates and the Lady Mustangs was grimy, tough and physical. Every player on the court poured their heart and soul into this game.
The first half was back and forth with both teams looking to separate themselves from the other. Landynn Guzman made a crucial three, then hit a buzzer beater at the end of the first half. Using that momentum Lytle outscored the Lady Mustangs 31-16 in the second half led by Aliana Cardenas’ season high 21 points.
Head coach Lori Wilson said this win was built on defense.
“We scored 17 points off their turnovers and we grabbed 14 steals,” Wilson said. “So proud of this team, they have came through on the games we need to [get through] this first round of district.”
