Lake Highlands High had a chance as the final seconds ticked off the clock at home against Sunset Tuesday night.
The Lady Wildcats stormed back from a 14-point deficit in the second half, led by Tierra Scott, 17, and Hannah Wedding, 10. Wedding knocked down two three-pointers, and finished the game with three blocks, which sparked the Lady Wildcats fourth quarter barrage, before fouling out.
Scott, simply made rebound after rebound, coupled with aggressive play to score seven of the Lady Wildcats 21 fourth quarter points.
However, when the dust settled, Sunset took the first of the District 9-5A match-ups between the two teams, 60-57.
And if you were wondering, yes, the score was every bit as exciting as it looks.
Lake Highlands trailed 43-36 heading into the final quarter, and made an exceptional push to come within one point with only 30 seconds left on the clock.
Here’s what you have to look forward to later down the road. These two teams will play in the season finale in a game which should promise to decide at least one playoff spot in District 9-5A.
