pointers in the first quarter and
allowed lone just a one-point advan
tage at the end of the period. They
were able to settle back into their
seats in the second quarter as the
Cards got their defense going and the
game moving in their favor. The
Cards took a 36-24 edge to the
locker room at halftime and never
looked back, outscoring the
Honkers, 33-22 in the second half
for the final margin.

the third quarter but Nikki Brisbois
got hot, scoring five points in less
than a minute. A worried Stanfield
coach put their tall girl, Michelle

ahead by seven points. With 2:58
left, Marcum fouled out and the

but couldn’t pull it off. At the end

Fillies 22, Stanfield 29.

gave it all they had. With 5:55 left

clock, Heather Eckman also fouled
out. The Fillies making shots count
on the charity stripe, then pulled
within one point. But with 1:28 left,

loose ball. With only 30 seconds left
and Stanfield stalling, they traveled.

points, seven rebounds, four steals
and two assists. Amy Greenup and
Nina Tucker each added six points.
When asked about the game,
Coach Dowdy replied, “ we only lost
by two points. We had a lot of pro
blems, injury-wise, but the girls real
ly hung in there. It shows what they
are made of. It was a total team ef
fort and they did good. I look for
ward to when we play Stanfield
again.” The Fillies next game will
