Nettes’ Get Big Region Win Against Lady Canes

On Friday night, the PHS Dragonettes varsity team hosted the Lady Hurricanes of Cartersville in a 7-AAAA region match up. This was the make up game for the game that was originally scheduled for the 4th.

 

The beginning of the 1st quarter saw the Nettes’ come out with a 7-0 run. The Lady Canes then ended the opening frame with a 17-4 run to take the lead going to the 2nd, 17-11. In the 2nd, both teams had trouble finding consistent offense. Cartersville outscored Pickens in the quarter, 6-3, to take a 23-14 lead into the break.

 

More offenses woes continued for the Nettes’ in the 3rd, totaling only 5 points. The defense for Pickens kept them within striking distance by allowing only 5 Lady Canes points themselves as we went to the 4th, Cartersville ahead, 28-19. In the 4th, the Nettes’ offense awoke from it’s slumber and scored the same number of points in the quarter, than they did in the first three quarters combined.
