Eaglettes earn split before holiday break

Submitted by Canton1 on

The Canton Eaglettes tangled with Lions twice on the court prior to the Christmas holiday, taking on both the Ennis Lady Lions and the Saltillo Lady Lions. Canton split those two contests, falling just short against Ennis before bouncing back against Saltillo for a convincing win.

Canton traveled to Ennis Dec. 13, watching their comeback bid run out of steam late in a 54-52 loss to the Lady Lions.

The Eaglettes doubled up Ennis in the early going, building up a 16-8 lead after one quarter of play. Ennis would not be denied offensively in the second quarter, getting their footing to cut the deficit down to 29-28 entering the break.

Third quarter play would play out in a similar fashion as the second, with Ennis outscoring Canton 20-12 to take a 48-41 lead on the Eaglettes with just eight minutes to play.
