Mar. 6—LINDALE — The Neches Lady Tigers playoff run came to an end inside Lindale's gymnasium, 65-20, Friday night against the Dodd City Lady Hornets.
The Lady Tigers were back in the state tournament for the first time since 2012. They were coming off beating the defending region IV champions — Chireno Lady Owls. Now, it was the Lady Hornets, who was entering their fourth state tournament appearance.
It took a little bit for the offense to get going for both teams. Dodd City got the first basket of the game before Emily Hill responded with a three on the other end to give Neches a 3-2 lead.
