VIDALIA — Keeda Lutcher finished with 15 points to lead the Vidalia High School Lady Vikings, but it was not nearly enough as they lost to the Mangham High School Lady Dragons 70-33 Thursday night in an LHSAA District 2-2A game.

Vidalia was looking to bounce back from a 42-point loss at Ferriday High School on Tuesday night. And things looked at least somewhat promising early on as the Lady Vikings were only down 12-8 to Mangham at the end of the first quarter.

However, the Lady Dragons (15-3, 4-0) showed why they are the team to beat in District 2-2A the rest of the game. They outscored the Lady Vikings 17-5 in the second quarter, 21-15 in a spirited and competitive third quarter, and 20-5 in the fourth quarter.

FERRIDAY — After three quarters of play and trailing by 11 points, it did not look like Delta Charter School had any chance of defeating Ouachita Christian School Thursday night.

Rayville girls 57, Ferriday 55

RAYVILLE, La. — The Ferriday High School Lady Trojans nearly came back from an early double-digit deficit, but time ran out on them as they lost to the Rayville High School Lady Hornets 57-55 Thursday night in an LHSAA District 2-2A game.

Lady Trojans head coach Lisa Abron said the first quarter was the difference in the outcome of this pivotal district contest for both teams.

“We missed a lot of lay-ups. Easy lay-ups. I don’t know if we were nervous or what it was,” Abron said. “Rayville was getting back on the fast break and made their lay-ups.”

The result was a 23-9 lead for the Lady Hornets at the end of that quarter. But the Lady Trojans looked like they were going to overcome that adversity after they outscored Rayville 19-11 in the second quarter and 12-9 in the third quarter to cut the Lady Hornets’ lead to just three points, 43-40.

Yet Rayville somehow managed to survive by doing just enough offensively in the fourth quarter. The Lady Hornets were only outscored by one point by the Lady Trojans, 15-14.

“We adjusted on defense. We dominated the final three quarters. I came down to the wire. Just couldn’t pull it out,” Abron said.

Tierra Spurs led the Lady Trojans with 18 points and Zaniya Curry had 11 points. Diamond Johnson and She’Kayla Miller added 10 points each for the home team.

T’Kira Fuller led Rayville (13-11, 3-0) with a game-high 20 points while Amari West scored 13 points and Mykiya Wilson chipped in with 10 points.

Ferriday (16-5, 3-2) plays host to Beekman Charter School Saturday at 2 p.m.
