However, visiting Coahulla Creek would hold the Lady Warriors to just eight points in the final period as the Lady Colts rallied for the 48-43 win.

Gregg had a game-high 24 points for LFO. Williams hit three 3-pointers on her way to 17 points, while Mackenzie Begley had the final two points for the Lady Warriors.

Then against Murray County on Saturday in Chatsworth, the Redand-white dropped a 58-49 decision to fall to 2-4 overall and 1-2 in region play.

The Lady Indians took control for good by outscoring LFO in the third quarter, 18-8, after going into halftime tied 20-20.
