Bandera holds off Owls

 

     Bandera -- After falling behind in the first half, the Hondo girls’ basketball team rallied to make things close in the third quarter, but fell short of Bandera, 48-43, in non-district action on Tuesday, Nov. 18.

     Now 2-1 on the year, the Owls will go to the Pearsall Tournament this weekend. The team will play five games in the tourney, including two Thursday, Nov. 20, two Friday and a final round matchup on Saturday.

     Bandera dominated the first half, leading 30-17 at the break. Hondo outscored the Lady Bulldogs by 12 in the third period to cut the gap to 35-34, but Bandera held on for the win in the fourth.

     Ashlyn Tovar was Hondo’s only player in double figures, scoring 16, with eight from Makylie Peña, seven from Kristyn Ybarra and six from Paisley Cook.

     After this weekend’s Pearsall tourney, the Owls will return to action on Tuesday, Nov. 25, with an 11:15 a.m. home contest against Fox Tech.
