WOODVILLE — The second and third quarters proved to be big for the Centreville Academy Lady Tigers as they held on for a 35-29 win over the WCCA Lady Rams Friday night at the WCCA New Year’s Shootout.

WCCA took an 8-5 lead over Centreville at the end of the first quarter, but the next two quarters didn’t turn out the way the Lady Rams had hoped for. The Lady Tigers outscored the Lady Rams 11-5 in the second quarter and 10-6 in the third quarter for a 26-19 lead.

“They took care of business in the second half,” Lady Rams head coach Ray Olive said. “They shut us down pretty good in the second and third (quarters).”

Allie Fontenot scored all 11 of WCCA’s points in those two quarters and led the Lady Rams with 13 points. But Olive said he would have like for the scoring to be more balanced.

“I need some more scorers to step up,” Olive said. “That’s my main focus for looking for a scorer. I was proud of my girls for their effort. We have a lot more energy and a stiffer defense then we’ve had before.”

Breanne Deville led Centreville with 12 points and Erin Gaulden chipped in with eight points.

“Centreville is always a big game for us,” Olive said. “The girls have come a long way since last year at this time.”
