ped from the regional tourna-

meager two points, 43-41, in an
overtime period by the Picayune
High School girls last Friday
night in the semi-finals.
The Pantherettes got off to a
slow start and were trailing h.
10 at the end of the first quarter,
mainly due to the Is points that
Picayune's star forward, Miller,
netted. However, the Pascagoula
girls had marched ahead, 24-23,
by half time.
The third period saw the vic
tors again take the lead by two
points, only to have the Pan
therettes tie it up 41-41 in the
final frame.
Picayune got the jump in the
overtime period and sacked up
the winning points before the
losers could get on their guard.
Time had run out before the
Pantherettes could retaliate.
