The only good news for Abilene High in its game with Midland Lee Tuesday night is that the Lady Eagles won the contest and earned a playoff berth. Beyond those two extremely important facts, you really don't want to know the rest. Now that we've got our foot in the door, we've got two big games remaining with Odessa High and Midland High.
First place is out of the question, but second place is still up for grabs.
We need to finish the regular season with two strong efforts. Then Dee Harris and Nicole Mullins scored consecutive baskets to start the second quarter, staking the Lady Eagles to an 18-6 lead. The Lady Eagles' only two points of the third quarter came on two Spence free throws with 35 seconds left in the period. The hoop pulled the Lady Eagles within 33-30 at the time. We got some good looks, we just could not put the ball in the basket.
