Alpha Omega girls roll past Brenham Christian 45-10

By Tom Waddill The Huntsville Item Tue Dec 08, 2009, 10:34 PM CST

The Lady Lions of Alpha Omega Academy had an easy night Tuesday. Led by center Annie Knight, the Lady Lions rolled to a 45-10 win over Brenham Christian Academy.

Knight poured in 14 points for Alpha Omega, which remained undefeated (3-0) in district and improved to 7-3 on the season. Jessica Stem scored nine points, Hannah Lee added eight, while Libby Rogers and Jennifer Chang tossed in four points apiece.

Kirstie Garrison, Suzy Partida and Jasmine Williford each scored two points for the Lady Lions.

“We got to play everybody tonight, and everybody scored,” Lady Lions coach Talara Cox said. “I don’t really like games like this because they make us play sloppy, but we only had 10 turnovers, which is good.”

The Lady Lions, who play at Bellville Faith Academy on Thursday, got off to a fast start Tuesday. Stem, Lee and Chang helped AOA jump out to a 9-0 lead in the first quarter, and the Lady Lions kept up the pace in the second period. AOA took a 25-2 lead into the break.

Knight took over in the third quarter, scoring eight straight points to put the Lady Lions on top 33-4. Partida hustled for an offensive rebound and scored, then Knight added another deuce and Stem hit a jumper before the end of the period.

In the fourth quarter, the Lady Lions celebrated a special moment. Williford, who has never played basketball before, made her first bucket, banking in a 10-footer.

“Those were her first two points ever,” Cox said. “We were all very excited for Jasmine.”

Cox said she liked the way her girls played defense Tuesday. Offensively, the Lady Lions were a little off, according to the coach.

“I like for my girls to get in the flow. I feel like we were out of sync a little tonight,” the coach said. “Thursday night, we play Bellville and that’s going to be a fight. That’s going to be a good one.”

Alive and kicking: Bearkats still in hunt at SLC baseball tourney
With the possibility of going home early from the Southland Conference Tournament and a chance of their season coming to an abrupt end, the Bearkats needed some quality starting pitching and production from their bats in the worst way.
Like he has done all year long, Sam Houston senior Justin Jackson delivered a lights-out performance on the mound and the offense made the kind of impact the Bearkats have been looking for Thursday morning.
Both elements came together at the exact right time as the Kats stayed alive in the tourney with a 7-1 victory over McNeese State in an elimination game at Bobcat Ballpark.

Bad day for Bearkats
The Bearkats’ road to the NCAA tournament just got a little bit tougher.
Texas A&M-Corpus Christi broke out for four runs before top-seeded Sam Houston even stepped to the plate Wednesday afternoon, but the Kats couldn’t find a way to counter that first punch.
Sam Houston connected for eight hits, but could not get enough of those in a row to make a dent in the deficit and are now one loss away from being eliminated from the Southland Conference tournament following a 9-2 loss at the hands of the eighth-seeded Islanders on Wednesday afternoon at the Bobcat Baseball Ballpark.

The Bearkats had a golden opportunity to make a lasting impression for a potential at-large bid in the NCAA tournament with fifth-ranked Rice coming to town. Sam Houston’s bats couldn’t get going early enough or be able to link enough hits together against the Owls pitching staff and succumbed to a 5-0 loss in the final game of the season at Don Sanders Stadium on Tuesday night.
