that enabled Heritage Hall
to chip away at the deficit
until the lead was attained
and built upon.
Trailing 47-4l With
just over two minutes left,
McCormick broke the
drought when he hit the
second of two free throw
opportunities. Payne fol-
lowed with her second
three-pointer of the game
to close the gap to 47-45
with 1:26 remaining.
However, turnovers and
more Lady Charger free
throws helped seal to loss.
Gorham led P-T in scor-
ing with 11 points. Hughes
followed with 10.
The Lady Demons com-
mitted over 20 turnovers in
the contest with 9 coming in
the fourth period.

The Lady Demons put
the Lady Wolves jayvees
away early enroute to a 65-
38 in opening round action
last Thursday.
P-T broke away from an
8-7 early close game with
15 unanswered points for a
23-7 lead at the end of the
first quarter.
After maintaining a
comfortable lead at the
intermission of 36-20, the
Lady Demons used a late
third quarter surge to take
Sante Fe out of the game.
The lead went to 20 points
after Payne hit her fifth
three-pointer of the game.
That would create a 49-29
advantage with 2:09 left.
Payne would drain four of
the long-range shots in the
first period.
P-T doubled up the Lady
Wolves in the fourth quarter
by a 14-7 surge the coast to
the 65-38 win.
Payne led all scorers
with 22 points as 10 other
P-T players would get in the
scoring column.

let his teammates down this
time. After hitting the first
free throw, PC North called
a timeout.
""During:!t; breakl Gam-
mill was tgld'b head coach
Norm Tippeconnie to inten-
tionally miss the second try
but to make sure he hit the
rim. The attempt missed its
mark this giving the Pan-
thers the ball out of bounds
with 1.1 seconds left. The
inbounds pass was thrown
the length of the floor but
was knocked away by Cam-
mill to preserve the win.
The extra period was set
up by the continuation of a
nice second half run made
by the Demons. Matt Hill
drained a baseline three-
point jumper that created
the 56-56 tie at the end of
regulation.
P-T trailed by as many as
17 points at one time during
the second quarter. But that
deficit quickly closed to
32-25 at the intermission.
The Demons outscored PC
North 15-10 in the third
quarter and trailed by only
two at 42-40 entering the
fourth quarter.
Champion led all scor-
ers with 22 points. Travis
Battles followed with 12
for the Demons and Gam-
mill added 10.
Weatherford :57,
P-T 55
The Demons weren't
able to ride the momentum
of a sparkling second quar-
ter and dropped the 61-57
verdict to the Eagles last
Thursday.
A late first quarter surge
enabled Weatherford to
claim a 17-10 advantage.
P-T responded in the first
three minutes of the second
frame with a 17-3 run that
produced a 27-20 lead. Bur-
nett and Champion provided
the field goals while Tanner
Pearce chipped in a pair of
free throws as part of the
rally.
But in the final 4:34 of
the first half, the Eagles
pulled their way back and
eventually claimed a 33-
31 advantage at halftime.
Weatherford would hold
on to the lead for the entire
second half for the win.
Again Champion led
all scorers with 22 points.
Pearce followed with 16
and Hill with 10.
