Lady Blue nail down first win

FARWELL — It was a tough fight, but the Farwell Lady Blue managed to nail down their first win of the season on Saturday.

Senior guard Presley Agee scored 27 points and Farwell (1-1) pulled away in the second half for a 46-41 win over Happy. Sophomore Charlie Trimble added nine points for the Lady Blue.

The Cowgirls (2-2) managed to lead through much of the first half, and were up 18-15 at halftime. Farwell, though, got its offense going after that and led by a point before outscoring Happy 14-10 in the final stanza.

On Tuesday, Farwell opened its season with a 48-29 setback at Class 3A Abernathy.

The Lady Antelopes (1-0) led throughout, but used a 16-7 run in the final stanza to finally put the contest away. Seniors Chanie Chambers and Mayra Martinez led Abernathy with 13 and 12 points, respectively, while Agee topped the Lady Blue with 10 tallies.

“We’re really young,” Farwell girls coach Mikel Turner said. “We’re playing with four freshmen and a sophomore, and Abernathy was big and physical. It was a good game for us.”

Farwell returns to action on Tuesday night at Sundown.

Bovina — The Fillies got their season off to a solid start on Tuesday night with a 52-41 victory at home over Friona.

Bovina carried a 5-point lead into halftime and gradually extended it through the second half.

Five players did all the scoring for the Fillies, led by Mia Reyna with 20 points. Meantime, Makaylah Luna and Kate Saenz also reached double digits with 10 points apiece.

Andrea Chavez topped the Squaws (0-1) with 16 points.

Muleshoe — The Lady Mules were 0-2 heading into a Saturday afternoon game at Hale Center.

Muleshoe dropped its season opener to Ropes 59-42 on Nov. 7, then lost to Springlake-Earth 62-40 on Tuesday. The Lady Mules’ next outing is scheduled for Tuesday night at Hereford.
