The Lady Pioneers played the Gravette Lady Lions on February 12th for senior night. The game was a close one. The Lions had the lead for the duration of the first quarter, ending the quarter 12-8. Gentry was able to get a lead by the end of the second quarter, but only leading by two, ending the first half 26-24.

The Lady Pioneers came out of halftime with a vengeance and were able to push their lead. The ending score of the third quarter was 39-33 with the Lady Pioneers leading. Unfortunately, Gentry let Gravette come back and tie up the score at 48, sending the game into overtime.

The Lady Pioneers made too many turnovers and weren’t able to score in overtime; on the other hand, the Lady Lions were able to get a few points on the board. The Lady Lions won over the Pioneers, 52-48.

Senior Haley James said, “Even though we didn’t win our senior night, I think that there was no better way to go out than with the fans, students, and teammates right there by our side. The atmosphere was incredible and is something that I’ll remember always.”

The Lady Pioneers will travel to Prairie Grove on the 17th to play in the District Tournament. The Lady Pioneers will play at 7 o’clock in Prairie Grove and they will play Gravette.
