Gold-Burg
The Gold-Burg Lady Bears hung with Slidell at home on Tuesday night.
The Lady Greyhounds ended up winning 49-38, but the Lady Bears competed better than most teams have in district this season.
With the Slidell program winning the district title for most of the last decade, Gold-Burg competed well.
The Lady Bears trailed only 16-13 after the first quarter and 25-19 at halftime. The Lady Greyhounds lead slowly got bigger as the game went on, but Gold-Burg never let the score get out of hand like it has in the past.
In the end, an 11-point loss to a program that is used to finishing atop the district standings every year pretty easily is a good indication for what this Lady Bears team is capable of.
Kelly Contreras led the team with 14 points while Shadie Whitaker was second with eight points.
