Bellevue holds off Woodson in its bi-district win
The Bellevue Lady Eagles held off a furious second half comeback to beat Woodson on Monday in their bi-district playoff game.
The Lady Eagles beat the Cowgirls 62-57, holding them off after being up double-digits at halftime.
Bellevue came into the game confident. The Lady Eagles had finished district play the previous week on Feb. 4 with a win against Prairie Valley 58-26. The Lady Eagles finished second in the district, but had secured a first seed in the second division of 1A.
Woodson came into the game with only seven wins on the season and four of them coming in district play. The Cowgirls had also finished in fourth place in their district as well.
The first half saw Bellevue show why it was the better team, outscoring Woodson in both quarters and leading 29-17 at halftime.
The Lady Eagles’ offense had not slowed down in the third quarter, but the Cowgirls found something to work offensively, doubling their first half total in the third quarter alone and cutting the lead to 10 points, 44-34.
That offensive rhythm kept up and was amplified by Woodson getting to the free throw line a lot. After attempting 10 free throws in the first three quarters, the Cowgirls attempted 15 in the fourth quarter alone.
Three players from Bellevue ended up fouling out and several more were a foul away from doing so.
The Lady Eagles continued to score well with 18 points in the final period, but missed all six of their free throws which would have provided some much needed breathing room as Woodson slowly got its way back into the game on the charity stripe.
Thankfully, the Cowgirls missed four of their free throws in the fourth quarter which would have made it a one-point game.
Bellevue held on to win 62-57.
