Now we see the surge.  Was ready to chastise Ms. Sanders - she apparently has righted the ship.

I concede this one to the Bobcats!  I knew one thing - the District 21-3A second and third finishers are better than any other district's second and third finishers!  Congratulations, Lady Bobcats.  Push forward!

This game got a lil too physical for my blood. I am glad to see no OF players get hurt and proud none got a technical of there own in revenge of what was going on. Good coaching does this and the girls have their head on right. It takes a lot not to say something so congrats on the win and congrats on showing more class than most of us would have shown.

Thanks everyone for the support. We to support every team in the golden triangle. It was a physical game. I don't understand why the officials let it get so rough. Our girls never lost their cool. Thats their trademark. Congrats to WOS on their victory and I know that silsbee will make us proud also. 21 3A is awesome! Lets show the state of Texas what 21 3A is made of and that is kicking butt and taking names.

Lady Bobcats drill Coldspring

Gabe Pruett

The Orange Leader

DAYTON —

Orangefield Lady Bobcats Coach did not get the memo that boxing gloves were going to be needed Tuesday night against Coldspring.

In the Lady Bobcats Region III bi-district playoff game, Orangefield shot six technical fouls in the fourth period and pulled away in the second half to win 80-48.

Coldspring (11-9) committed 32 fouls in the contest held at Dayton High School.

Orange field (26-7) now moves on to face West Columbia (29-0) at Barbers Hill High School Friday. Ancelot said the time of the game was not set in stone because the Lady Bobcats could be the second game in a double-header on Friday.

As for as Tuesday's win, Ancelot was just glad to get out with no serious injuries to her team.

"It was so physical that it got sloppy," Ancelot said. "I am proud of our kids for keeping their composure down the stretch. We were able to use our emotions to our advantage. In the end, we were the team able to finish the ball game."

Lost in all the madness were two dynamic games played by Orangefield's Kaylin Little and Kristy Sanders.

Little fought her way to 39 points, 10 steals and seven rebounds. Sanders was able to snare another triple-double with 19 points, 10 steals and 11 assists.

The first half was not as good for the Lady Bobcats as the Lady Trojans hung around and looked to make a game of things.

Orangefield started out hot taking a 12-2 lead midway through the first period as Sanders scored 10 of her 19 in the first frame.

Coldspring closed the gap before the second period as Orangefield took a 18-10 lead after the first.

The Lady Trojans then shot 16 free throws in the second period making nine and got to within eight with the score 32-25.

Orangefield's Nichole Judice, who had seven points and six rebounds off the bench, sank a free throw making the lead nine at 33-25.

Then Lady Trojans' Breyona Harrison made two freebies making it 33-27.

Sanders made the halftime score 34-27 by closing out the half's scoring with a free throw.

Orangefield then turned up the intensity after the break and never looked back with a 12-0 run to start the third.

Little poured in eight during the run, two from three-point land, and Jessica Shores and Laura Riddick each buried shots.

Shores finished with five points, six assists and three steals in the game while Riddick pulled down five rebounds and had four steals to go with her three points.

The Lady Bobcats were a perfect 5-for-5 from the free throw line in the third as they out-scored the Lady Trojans 22-5 in the frame.

Orangefield's defense was one key to the success as it forced nine turnovers.

With a 56-32 lead heading into the fourth, Orangefield looked to coast but things turned ugly with flagrant and technical fouls from Coldspring players.

During all the chaos, not one Lady Bobcat fought back and received a technical foul for reacting to any play.

"Those physical teams seem to foul a little harder at the end of games if they are not winning," Ancelot said. "So we anticipate that and remind the kids the game will get enough rougher down the stretch. We have kids tonight who showed their maturity."

The Lady Bobcats remained calm enough to sink 12-of-16 free throws in the fourth to not give up the lead it worked to get in the third.

Orangefield out-scored Coldspring 24-16 in the fourth.

The Lady Trojans were led by Chelsea King's 14 points and eight rebounds while Brittany Washington added 11 points and eight rebounds.

Harrison finished with 10 points of her own for the Lady Trojans.

Coldspring turned the ball over 40 times in the game while Orangefield did the same 35 times.

Kayla Stone added four steals for the Lady Bobcats.

Orangefield now turns its attention to undefeated West Columbia.

"They are undefeated at 29-0 for a reason," Ancelot said. "Our schedule has prepared us for that kind of team. We had a tough non-district and district schedule. We are going to go in knowing we deserve to be there just like they do."

Man, I'd hate to be that Coldspring coach. I started feeling sorry for him towards the end. The Coldspring parents starting screaming horrible things at him early in the game, when the score was close. I see where their kids got their attitudes with that kind of example. The thing was, the coaching aspect of the game was pretty good, they had a good press and they managed to get open shots on offense. I'm also very proud of the way our girls responded to the flagrant fouls. They kept their head and tempers and just played ball. Congratulations, girls, on the great win. Keep it up!

"Orangefield shot six technical fouls in the fourth period and pulled away in the second half to win 80-48......" 

Looks like the refs actually did their job, and confronted the rough play. Oughta be this way, all the time.
