Season ends in Regional Quarterfinals

The Canton Eaglettes got a heavy dose of Lady Panthers throughout their 2015-’16 playoff run, recording wins over both the Mabank and Spring Hill variety in bi-district and Area rounds respectively before seeing their season end Feb. 23 with a 50-46 loss to Bullard.

The Eaglettes mounted a herculean comeback effort against the Lady Panthers, coming up just short at the final buzzer despite trailing by as many as 19 points in the early stages of the second half.

Bullard got the jump on Canton early, taking a 17-9 lead at the end of the first quarter. The Eaglettes managed to get their bearings defensively in the second, keeping the margin at 27-19 in favor of Bullard entering the half.

The Lady Panthers opened the third quarter with a 13-2 run to introduce the possibility of a blowout before Canton came roaring back to cut the deficit back down to single digits late in the fourth quarter.
