Varsity Girls Squeak Out A Win In A Winterfest Special
The Senators of Carson High took on the Damonte Ranch Mustangs in a special Winterfest girls varsity basketball match up Friday night. The Senators were coming off a tough loss against their league rival Douglas Tigers, but managed to get the win in a 37-35 squeaker.
The game got off to a slow start, but Damonte was the first to pull ahead in the towards middle of the first quarter. Later in the quarter the Senators managed to catch up to leave the score at 13-13 to polish off the first quarter. The second quarter was pretty neck and neck but Carson managed to maintain a lead at 23-21 heading into the locker room at half.
The third quarter was an offensive nightmare from both teams although Carson managed to expanded the lead barely to 27-24 entering the final quarter.
The fourth quarter presented a little more offensive action and featured plenty of fouls from both teams making every shot from the free throw line that much more important. The Senators never fell behind in the quarter but came very close as the game ended with a very heated finish, but it was Carson who came out on top at 37-35!
