PORT NECHES — Speed kills and the Little Cypress-Mauriceville Lady Bears found out the hard way Tuesday night at Port Neches-Groves High School.

The Barbers Hill Lady Eagles used their quickness all night long in a 61-42 win over LC-M in the Class 4A Region III Bi-district playoffs.

LC-M finishes its season 15-16 after making the playoffs for the first time since 2001 and for the first time since Amanda Ellerbee took over the team.

Barbers Hill (26-9) moves on to face the winner between Manor and Magnolia later this week in the area round.

The Lady Eagles used a balanced attack to build a 33-8 lead at the half.

Barbers Hill was off the races even in the first period.

After LC-M senior Amber Soileau scored the game's first two points, Barbers Hill responded with a 15-0 run.

Barbers Hill, who was led by 12 points from Morgon Anderson, led 19-5 after the first frame. Jasmine Carter had six points in the game's first eight minutes and she finished the game with eight.

The Lady Eagles then used defense in the second period again to make sure they would lead by a comfortable margin at half-time.

LC-M could only muster up three points in the second period while Barbers Hill scored 14.

The Lady Eagles ended the second period on a 10-0 run.

Jillian Coon, who finished with six points, had four in the period.

After what must have been a very motivational speech by Ellerbee during the break, LC-M started to make things a little more interesting in the third.

The Lady Bears, who were led by Ellen Williams' 12 points, outscored the Lady Eagles 16-14 in the third period.

Katie Harrell scored all 11 of her 11 points in the third while Anderson scored six for Barbers Hill.

LC-M was able to cut the score to 45-27 near the end of the third after which included a 9-0 run by the Lady Bears.

Barbers Hill led 47-29 heading into the game's final eight minutes.

Another 9-0 run in the fourth got LC-M to within 53-40.

Barbers Hill buckets from Shannon Evans, who had nine points, and Anderson all but sealed the victory.

Britney Gibbs led the Lady Eagles with eight rebounds while Shelby Apperson matched the total for the Lady Bears. Apperson finished with six points.

Harrell and Hailey Christian each had six rebounds for LC-M.

Jenna Silva added eight points for Barbers Hill while Kendall Shaw finished with six points.

Something else I read was the Magnolia lost both games to #9 in the state Willis by only 3 points in each game! Magnolia was a tough team should be a great game with Manor!!
