The Lady Bears also got double-figure scoring from sophomore Kenadee Lawhon, who had 14 points and a team-high seven steals to help lead Bastrop to victory last week against the Lady Cardinals. Bastrop junior Alaysia Williams also had a solid all-around game at Del Valle with seven points, 10 rebounds, seven assists and three steals.
In Friday’s victory over the Lady Apaches of Gonzales, the Lady Bears got the job done and held on down the stretch for a critical two-point win. Brown had a team-high 14 points and nabbed six rebounds, while Lawhon also scored in double figures with 10 points for Bastrop and had a teamhigh seven steals against Gonzales. Williams had eight points and six rebounds, while sophomore Addison Moore had five points and seven boards.
