Connally edges Central

Kara Balboa and Bria Freeland

This game had me wondering if I should have chose another as it started off sloppy, filled with turnover and missed lay-ups however after watching the battle unfold between Pflugerville Connally's Kara Babola and Beaumont Central's Malena Washington, I knew regardless of how the game ended, I was the right spot.

After trailing 11-10 after one, Washington hit a three to tie the game at 13, this at the 5:50 mark. Ten seconds later, she picked up her third foul however a gutsy move by her coach worked out to a tee and she wouldn't commit another foul the rest of the way

They needed her to even stay close and her back to back threes with less than a minute remaining tied the game at 40 however a Bria Freeland's bucket with a little over a second lft in the game sealed the 42-40 victory. Washington finished with 22 , followed by Rondaysha Thomas who added 12 for Central. Balboa was high for PC with 19. Connally moves on to face Tomball Friday
