The Lady Marlins knew they
could score on transitions. It just took
them a little time to get it started, said
coach Stephanie Cowen.
Indeed, the ladies kicked off their
district run this season and sweetened
a homecoming game with a win against
Kenedy, defeating the Lady Leopards
54-29 on a game partially built around
transitions - the change of possession
of the ball.
The ladies started with a 13-7 advan-
tage at the end of the first
period, and Cowen said
she made some changes
after that.
“Early in the second pe-
riod, we changed defenses, and
it put us on a quick run. A steal
turned into a transition basket,”
she said.
That took the ladies to a rather
commanding 31-10 lead going into
the locker room at halftime.
They never let up, outscoring
Kenedy in each of the two following
periods.
“Tarryn Murray had a great night
shooting the ball, and Savannah Ortiz
once again had a big defensive night,”
Cowen reported.
“We still have moments when we

The Lady .Marinis had little trouble
handling the Mathis Lady Pirates at
Doyle Marek Gym on Tuesday, Jar 4,
coming away with a 57-33 victory.
Coach Stephanie Cowen said the
first quarter of the varsity game was
virtually a wash: “We were just sim-
ply t ailing baskets. We were play-
ing hard, but not able to pull away.”
Things changed in the second period,
however, when some changes were made
on the court and the defense picked up.
“ I hat intensity led to some easy
transition buckets and opened our lead.”
Cowen said.
Cowen credited Savannah Ortiz with
outstanding defense and said Chelsea
Perez shored up the offense with scoring

16-6 lead in the first quarter and extended
that to 30 12 by halftime. They continued
to bui score the Lady Leopard IV , m the
third pe «xl and even relaxing in the last
quarter couldn’t give the visitors enough
of a shot at the game.

points, followed by Brenna Martin with
10. Chase Hagedorn and Kellie Owens
each had six points, and Vivian Frank,
Missy Gilbreath, Morgan Milligan, Mad-

are stagnant, but we are working to get
through that,” she added. “Late in the
last two ballgames we usually have had
different line-ups in to work on it.”
With the Kenedy win, the Lady Marlins
are 1 -0 in district play.
“With the district like it is this year,
winning home games will be key for us,
so I am pleased with the outcome and
effort tonight,” Cowen said.
Murray, the leading scorer, nailed 23
points - a bit more than half the Lady
Marlins’ total score. Ortiz was the other
double-digit shooter, putting in 10.
