But the home team pumped up the scoring with 19 points in the fourth quarter to the Lady Broncos’ nine points to seal the win.

The Lady Indians’ head coach Littleton Parker said afterward, “I thought it was a good ball game tonight and the kids played well. I was a little disappointed with our foul shooting, and we missed to many foul shots, but going down the stretch we made a couple that kicked the led up. Overall, I thought we did well, but will have to work on our foul shooting.“
