REPUBLIC — It didn't look good for the Lady Tigers at halftime.
Nixa jumped out to a 41-27 lead at the break. Macie Conway was on fire. Republic couldn't buy a good look and they weren't playing the ball that makes it one of the great programs in southwest Missouri.
But you can never count the Lady Tigers out.
Republic rallied in the second half to force overtime with clutch play down the stretch. The Lady Tigers took control in overtime for an 82-68 win over Nixa on Thursday night at Republic High School.
"We have a lot of fire," senior Savana Powell-Goodman said.
