Warriors fall to Falcons; Lady Warriors fall at buzzer to Lady Knights
The Lakeside Warriors didn’t have their “A” game Thursday night at The Palace, falling to the Northwood Falcons 71-56 in the second round of the Minden Holiday Classic.
The Warriors came out firing and took a 9-2 lead, but appeared out of sorts after the Falcons responded with a run to take a 16-12 lead after one quarter. Lakeside committed several careless turnovers and failed to convert a slew of easy opportunities near the rim in a second quarter that saw Northwood run away with the game.
At halftime, the Warriors trailed 38-19.
Lakeside made a run to cut the Northwood lead to 11, which got the Warrior fans in attendance on their feet, but it was short-lived as the Falcons answered right back with their own 6-0 run to remove all doubt of the outcome. With the loss, Lakeside was eliminated from contention in the 27th annual playing of the Classic.
In girls action, head coach Rendi Dillard’s Lakeside Lady Warriors fell at the buzzer to the North Webster Lady Knights 47-46, ending their tournament.
Nancy Silva led the Lady Warriors with 12 points, followed by Chelsea Mays and LaDayeshia Allen with 11 and Allison Lofton with 10.
North Webster – M. Tell 19, M. Green 19, Harris 6, Henderson 3.
Both the Warriors and Lady Warriors will return to action on Thursday Dec. 21 at home against Plain Dealing High School.
