Sorry Gang...my Blackberry went kaput!  Final - 47-45

BH played well for the first 28 min, leading by as much as 11 with about 5 to go, but allowed something like a 13-3 run and a last second shot to give it up.  Congrats on great season...and good luck to Del Valle, hope you make a return to the Drum!

Lady Cardinals rally past BH

BRENHAM – Neither rain, nor sleet nor an unusual February snowfall could keep the Barbers Hill Lady Eagles from their appointment at Blinn College for Tuesday night’s Class 4A Region III quarterfinal basketball playoff.

But the Del Valle girls kept the Lady Eagles from reaching this weekend’s regional tournament, rallying from 13 points down with 6 minutes, 34 seconds left to win 47-45.

The Lady Cardinals outscored Barbers Hill 19-4 down the stretch to win 47-45 on Summer Postell’s bucket with 2.1 seconds remaining.

The final two of Postell’s game-high 17 points gave Del Valle its only lead of the game.

After a timeout, Jill Coon inbounded for Barbers Hill and heaved the ball three quarters of the court to teammate Jenna Silva, who dribbled once and lofted a 23-footer that drew iron and caromed off to the right of the bucket as the buzzer sounded.

“I thought we played a heck of a game,” said Barbers Hill coach John Chancellor. ‘We just came up one bucket short at the end.”

Barbers Hill’s season ends at 29-6 while Del Valle, the 11th-ranked team in the state at 34-2, continues to this weekend’s III-4A regional tournament in Aldine.

Guard Jessica Peralez hit three first-half 3-pointers for nearly half of Del Valle’s 22 first-half points and finished with 14.

Silva led Barbers Hill with 11 points and fellow guard Carli Manchaca added 10. Teammates Jasmine Carter added nine points as the Lady Cards held the Lady Eagles’ season scoring leader, Kendall Shaw, to just six points.

“In the first half, they put bodies on her and we couldn’t get her the ball,” Chancellor said of his 6-foot-4 sophomore. “In the second half, they put so much pressure on our guards, they couldn’t see her.”

At the end of the first half, after Barbers Hill had led by as many as 10 points, Del Valle charged back to get within 23-22 at intermission. Barbers Hill ran its lead back up to 11 points at 33-22 by shutting Del Valle out until the final 1:35 of the third period, at which time the Lady Cards, led by Peralez, closed to 33-28.

Jasmine Carter made it 35-28 entering the final period after she sunk two free throws with 1 tick left in the third.

Then Shaw hit a pair of freebies, Manchaca scored off her own steal and Silva drove for a layup with 6:34 left in the game.

Barbers Hill led 41-28.

Del Valle outscored the Lady Eagles 12-1 in the next four and a half minutes to tie the game at 42-all. Postell, a 6-foot junior, scored seven of those points and guard Jametria Green hit a pair of jumpers. Monique McElveen, a 5-9 junior post, snared several key rebounds and the Lady Cards forced six Barbers Hill turnovers in the final period.

“They put people on us at halfcourt and we turned the ball over,” Chancellor said. “When they started doing the drive-and-kick, we knew what was coming, but we couldn’t stop them.”

Paris Carter hit 1 of 2 free throws to give Barbers Hill a slim lead with 1:33 left but Postell matched her for a 43-all tie with 1:19 to go.

Two free throws by Joslinn Douglas put Del Valle up 45-43 with 1:15 to go and Silva knotted the game up again on a drive and pullup jumper with 40 seconds to go.

The Lady Cardinals ran the clock down before shooting twice and missing. Each time the rebound went to Del Valle. Finally, Postell worked herself free under the basket and lobbed in a basket just out of Shaw’s reach with 2.1 seconds to go.

“They outscored us 19-10 in the fourth quarter,” Chancellor said. “If we don’t give up 19, we win big.”
