The Tioga Lady Bulldogs basketball team earned their first win of the season, defeating the S&S Consolidated Lady Rams 37-31 on Tuesday night.
The Lady Bulldogs pounced on their opponents early in the game, forcing multiple turnovers and building a double- digit lead that proved to be more than the Lady Rams could overcome.
“Getting the first win of the season is always a super happy moment,” said Ragan Smith, Tioga head girls basketball coach. “We had one day of practice with our press [defense], and our girls went out there and executed well. Until you get into basketball shape, it’s hard to execute for a full four quarters, but when we had fresh legs, we looked good in our press. We also looked good running our offense and had a lot of open looks at the basket. We have a lot to build on and a lot of growth that we still need to achieve, but overall, I’m really happy with the way we looked tonight.”
