Jacksboro Tigerettes rout Breck’s Lady Bucks

Maintaining a balance offensively and defensively can take some doing.

Jacksboro held visiting Breckenridge without a first quarter point Jan. 21 and scored just six points itself. Both squads cranked up the offensive intensity over the final three frames, but the Tigerettes held Breckenridge to just 23 percent shooting as Jacksboro opened the second round of District 7-3A play with a 55-34 win.

Jacksboro goes to 6-2 in district and 14-14 overall while Breckenridge drops to 3-5 and 19-8.

The Tigerettes got off quickly, getting baskets from Alex Holman and Baylee Thompson in the first 90 seconds. Jacksboro would take just two shots over the final six minutes plus.

Breckenridge would do a tremendous job on the offensive glass with Aaliyah Lawson leading the charge. It did not lead to a single point with the Lady Bucks missing all 13 shots in the first stanza.

Thompson would add a pair of free throws for a 6-0 lead after one.

The Tigerettes would nearly double their lead with a Thompson bucket and Morgyn Green’s 3-pointer putting the lead at 11-0 45 seconds in. Holman and Brynn Pardue contributed buckets for a 17-0 lead midway through the second quarter.
