GOODRICH — The Lady Pirates won the consolation championship at the Goodrich tournament on Saturday.
On its way there, the team lost to Hull-Daisetta 61-59 on a last-second shot.
The Lady Pirates struggled the first half to hit anything but after the half it was a different story, fighting back to within a few baskets during the third quarter. In the fourth quarter the Lady Pirates tied it up at 59, and almost managed to force an overtime game.
Hull-Daisetta launched a shot just inside the 3-point line in the last second of the game, and players watched as the ball rolled around and finally falling in.
Top scorers were Grace Panos with 23-points, Tangela Yates with 12 points and Tiana Clark with 8.
