The Varsity Lady Cougar team travelled to Dan River Dec. 16 and brought home a 49-43 win.
The score was tied at 10 at the end of the 1st quarter, but Patrick County outscored the Lady Wildcats in the 2nd and 3rd to earn the win.
Missy Hazard led the Cougars with 12 points, four rebounds, five assists, and three steals.
Aniya Penn put up 10 points, had seven rebounds, three steals, and three assists.
Marissa Brown had 10 points, four rebounds, and one steal.
Coach Donny Rakes said he was pleased with the outcome.
“It was a really good win for our very young team. Still without three starters, our freshmen and sophomores are really growing up and learning the game. In a very back and forth game, we showed more composure than in recent games, and I was proud of that,” Rakes said.
“A big shout-out to Kimora Wimbush, a freshman who held LeFarmer to only 12 points after she had scored 25 the first time we played. I thought that was the difference in the game,” he said.
