It was an exciting night in Bismarck as the second night of the Bismarck Junior High Basketball Tournament wrapped up play with host Bismarck facing off against Magnet Cove.
The girls game tipped off at 6:30 p.m., and it resulted in a loss for the home team.
The first half of the game was a defensive struggle for both teams, as was evidenced by the scoring in the game.
Despite Kaylee Newsome making one of her two shots from the charity stripe early in the first period, the score remained at 1-0 until about the 1:30 mark when Newsome hit a 10-foot jumper to take a
3-0 lead.
Moments before the buzzer sounded to end the period, Magnet Cove’s Hamby hit a long two from just inside the arc to bring the score to 3-2.
The Lady Lions continued to lead in the second period, hitting for 10 while holding the Lady Panthers to eight for a 13-10 lead at halftime.
Bismarck came out a little flat in the second half, picking up only three as Magnet Cove added eight to take a 19-16 lead.
The Lady Panthers added 11 to earn the win as Bismarck could only hit for eight for the 30-24 final.
Newsome led all scorers in the game with 11 points, hitting seven of her eight shots from the free throw line.
Cass Chandler hit eight and was three for five from the charity stripe.
Brooke Jones and Annabeth Ingram added two, and Carlyee Norris picked up one.
The Lady Lions made 11 out of their 16 attempts from the free throw line for a 69 percent shot rate.
Magnet Cove was at 100 percent, hitting all three of their shots.
The Lady Panthers advance in the tournament to face the Ouachita Lady Warriors tonight at 6:30 p.m.
The Lady Lions are out of the single-elimination tournament, but they will be back in action Tuesday as they play host to conference foe Prescott at 5:30 p.m.
