Frost sweeps county-rival Rice

Anonymous The Corsicana Daily Sun Tue Dec 01, 2009, 10:25 PM CST

RICE – Krystal Jackson had 19 points and Frost fended off Rice Tuesday in a matchup of Navarro County foes.

The Lady Bears (3-0) seemed to have the game in hand early, leading 19-7 after a first half in which Rice (1-3) failed to make a second-period field goal.

But, the Lady Bulldogs managed to stay in the game.

A 6-0 run in the final two minutes of the third period, sandwiched by an Alison Barker three-pointer and baseline jumper, cut the Lady Bears’ lead to 25-15.

Jackson hit two big buckets early in the fourth, then had a three-point play at the 4:43 mark to make it 32-17.

But Rice again responded.

The Lady Bulldogs got six straight points from Kanesia Daniels, then four from Sara Rhodes to make it 33-25 with 2:20 left.

It became a slow-paced free-throw shooting match the rest of the way.

The Lady Bulldogs had 16 attempts in the second period and did not make any of them, and had a solitary free throw in four attempts after trailing 11-6 through one. They went 13:53 without a field goal until Barker’s three-pointer, missing 22 in a row.

Frost wasn’t exactly on fire, but got a baseline jumper and old-fashioned three-point play from Jackson and led by as much as 13 in the first half. Ashley Cain added seven points and eight rebounds for the Lady Bears, and Patricia Garcia had 11 rebounds to go along with three points.

Daniels led Rice with 10, while Barker had six points and 10 rebounds.

Frost 47, Rice 33

Three minutes into the second half, the Polar Bears and Bulldogs were neck and neck at 24-22 after a layup by Rice’s Blake Lewis. The last 13 minutes belonged to Frost, which made its living mostly at the line.

The Polar Bears (3-1) made 18 of 29 free throws – 13 on 20 second-half attempts – to pull away. Rice (0-4) had 13 free throw attempts all night, only five in the second half, and made only three .

Freshman Daniel Steels went to the line with 5:06 to go in the third, a sight that would be repeated three times in a 1:05 span. It was part of a 9-3 Frost run to end the third, one that stretched to 14-3.

Frost led by as much a 17, 46-29, in the fourth after a Jacob Stroder layup on an assist from Philip Page, who led the Polar Bears with 11 points and 11 rebounds.

Kyle Montgomery added 11 for Frost, nine on three-pointers, and Steels had 10, all from the free throw line. David Rios added nine points and six rebounds.

Ray Crisp led eight Bulldogs who scored with nine points.
