The Lady Wave came out
like a different team from last
night. They played team ball
and scored well. By the time
the first quarter ended the
Wave was ahead 23 - 6. James
and Fletcher were the hot hand
players, scoring 9 and 6 respect-
fully.

apart and didn't do a thing as
a team. The Lady Tigers came
back and outscored the Wave
18 - 8. At halftime Ponchatoula
had a 31 - 24 lead.
The second half the game got
out of control and there was a
lot of physical contact going on
that wasn't called on the Lady
Tigers. Ponchatoula somehow
tried to play their game and
outscored Benton 21 - 13. Scor-
ing for the Wave was Savanna
Balado, Allie Seale, and Bailie
Stewart had 4 each, Hannah
Fletcher 21, Andrea Kaigler 5,
and Anne James 14.
