In what could be called a Varsity versus JV game the Lady Miners easily stomped on the Lady Tigers Tuesday evening in Tiger Gym.
Between injury and illness the Lady Tigers managed to put together a team of mostly JV players, young and inexperienced ones at that to go up against the varsity Lady Miners Tuesday evening. According to head coach Victor Esparza there were at least three girls out with illness and one injury from the cowbell.
So it was kind of surprising the Lady Miners didn’t rack up the points against the Lady Tigers as their defense held up pretty strong until the second half. It took the Lady Tigers at least three minutes in the first quarter to get it past half court but they also held the Lady Miners to only 12 points in the quarter.
The Lady Tigers however struggled once they did get across half court taking the ball to the basket scoring only four points in the first half. part of that was the lack of Tarry Trujillo who was out with an ankle injury she suffered in the cowbell.
The girls travel to Clayton for the Black and Orange tourney this week.
