The Pickens Dragonettes had a thriller against Fannin on Friday, narrowly defeating the Lady Rebels in a game between two evenly matched teams trying to take advantage of each others’ flaws in four quarters of action. The “Nettes” caught fire late, pulling out a 45-38 victory.The first half of play was back-and-forth throughout, and a three-pointer by junior, Makayla Angel, before the buzzer gave the “Nettes” a slim 27-26 going into the locker room. A defensively dominated third quarter saw only six points scored in total, setting up an exciting finish in Jasper.
