Nettes’ Come Away With Big Road Region Win Over Southeast Whitfield

Last night, the PHS Dragonettes varsity basketball team, traveled up to Dalton to take on the Lady Raiders of Southeast Whitfield. This game, would be the final region game of the 2018 portion of the schedule as the rest of 2018 for the Nettes’ will be filled with non-region games.

 

The first quarter, started out slow for both teams. As both squads looked to get things going, the Nettes’, were able to take an 11-8 lead into the 2nd. The 2nd quarter saw Pickens turn it up offensively & defensively. Offensively, the Nettes’ poured in 19 points, while only allowing 5 points in the frame to take a 30-11 lead into halftime.

 

The 3rd quarter, was a lot like the 1st quarter in a sense that it was closely played. Southeast Whitfield, outscored the Nettes’ 13-9 in the frame, but Pickens still held the advantage going to the 4th, 39-26. The Nettes’, closed out the game on a good run as they would only allow 3 4th quarter points, while scoring 21, to give them a 60-29 win over the Lady Raiders.
