Bethany Ogden scored eight of her nine points in the fourth quarter to rally Trinity Episcopal to a 41-36 decision over the Prairie View Lady Spartans on Tuesday night. Prairie View led 22-16 at halftime and carried a 31-28 advantage into the final quarter. Ogden drained a 3-pointer and made 5-of-7 free throws as the Lady Saints outscored Prairie View 13-5 in the fourth frame.
“We have to get better,” said Prairie View coach Dave Farrell. “We have to go back to work (Wednesday) and we have to go back to work in earnest.” Brandis White paced the Lady Saints (13-4) with 12 points and Madilyn Cross had 10. Prairie View (12-4) received 18 points from Caroline Oliphant, nine from Logan Tubbs, five from Jerri Ann Lord and four from Molly Gregory.
Prairie View will play at home Friday vs. River Oaks. Game time is 6:30 p.m.
Notes: Prairie View sophomore forward Victoria Billings missed the game with a turned ankle. ... Tuesday was a bad day all the way around at Prairie View. Bus trouble forced the players to travel in separate vehicles. Due to a problem with a drain at the school, Farrell was up until the wee hours of the night washing uniforms. Worst of all, Bucky Diel, a longtime supporter of the school, passed away Tuesday afternoon.
