Lady Bulldogs fall in double overtime thriller
Bandera's Lady Bulldogs played host to the Wimberley Lady Texans last Tuesday and the game was not what anyone was expecting.
Bandera surged to a 20-9 first quarter advantage, thanks to the steady improving offense and some Wimberley miscues.
The Lady Texans weren't going down without a fight though and outscored Bandera by four points in the second to get within seven points at the half, 36-29.
Not helping matters any, Bandera's point guard and floor general, Brianna Stimmell, suffered a knee injury which forced some Lady Bulldog's into unfamiliar roles in the second half.
Wimberley got into foul trouble early in the third, sending the Lady Bulldogs to the line numerous times, but the Lady Texans continued to fight their way back into contention.
Bandera was up by a 47-43 tally to start the fourth and Kristin Salas stepped up to fulfill the role that was left open by Stimmell's departure. Salas took the rock to the basket and kept getting fouled, bring rewarded with 12 shots from the stripe.
Just when it looked like Bandera was going to outlast Wimberley, the Lady Texans hit their only three pointer of the night with six seconds left to tie the game at 59-59, sending the game into overtime.
"We fought tooth and nail in the first overtime, executing time after time on both ends of the floor even though we had multiple people foul out. Every member of the team team stepped and fought the whole time," coach Kierstn Dumont said.
Liz MacNeil, Avery Ouellette and Salas combined to score six points in the first OT to match Wimberley scoring and send it to another OT period at 65-65.
The second OT saw the Lady Bulldogs fight a good fight, but Wimberley scored five and held Bandera scoreless to escape with a 70-65 win.
