Coming out of halftime, the Lady Bobcats would roll on a 13-point run before Lady Yellow Jackets freshman Alexandra McGee could put her team on the board.

“We played really good as a team,” Lady Bobcats Kamilah Clay said. “We were able to get the ball inside for shots, and if those shots weren’t available, we moved the ball outside for shots. We had a lot of defensive pressure. Even the young kids came in and did what they had to do.”

The Lady Bobcats held a 43-14 lead heading into the fourth.
