CLEVELAND - The
Perkins-Tryon Lady
Demons started the 2016
portion of the schedule
scoring a lot of points in
their first two games. One
didn't have any bearing on
the outcome but the other
one did.
P-T ended the week
with a 70-59 win over the
Cleveland Lady Tigers
last Saturday night in a
Tulsa 7 Conference clash.
It began last Friday as the
Lady Demons coasted to an
uncontested 90-27 triumph
over the Harding Fine Arts
Academy Firehawks in the
P-T Gymnasium.
The Lady Demons made
it look pretty easy against
Cleveland early by jumping
out to an 8-2 lead in the first"
four minutes of the game.
CHS, however, countered
with seven straight points
for a short-lived 9-8 lead
with three minutes left in
the period.
Both teams tallied six
points each in the closing
minutes to enable the Lady
Tigers hold a 15-14 advan-
tage.
Again P-T used a quick
start in the second quar-
ter but Cleveland didn't
respond like it did earlier.
Free throws from Coley
Larson and two inside
buckets from Ericka Ste-
venson contributed to the
9-2 run that created a 23-17
advantage with 4:41 left in
the first half.
Both teams essentially
traded buckets for the
remainder of the frame.
However, P-T would grad-
ually add to its lead espe-
cially with back-to-back
field goals from Larson and
Bailey Wamsley and a free
throw from Brianna Hobbs
for the Lady Demons' first
double-digit lead of 36-26
with just under a minute
left.
Wamsley drained a
three-pointer from the
top of the key in the final
seconds that gave P-T an
11-point advantage at the
intermission of 39-28. As
it would turn out, P-T's
second quarter dominance
proved to be the difference
of the game.
The Lady Demons
extended the lead through-
out a majority of the third
quarter. Scoring chunks
from Hobbs, Stevenson,
and Raegan O'Donnell
allowed P-T to reach the
20-point cushion plateau
with a 53-33 advantage
with 3:26 left. But the Lady
Tigers gave the home crowd
a reason to hope for a rally
in the fourth quarter.
Cleveland used an 18-4
run in the first four minutes
of the fourth frame to close
to 60-56 with just under
three minutes left. The
Lady Demons then used a
somewhat unfamiliar ally
in the final three minutes
