The Eagle Pass Lady Eagles varsity girls’ cagers mentored by head coach Ruben Besa and assistant coaches Arturo Gonzalez, Jesus Juarez and Norman Carreon hit the road on Saturday, January 5, 2019 for a trip to Laredo, Texas to tipoff against the always tough Laredo Alexander Lady Bulldogs.
The visiting Lady Eagles who according to Coach Ruben Besa turned in a much better overall effort in this game did not back down from the challenge to facing a much taller Laredo Alexander squad and even managed to keep the game close throughout the entire first half as they battled with a relentless offensive and defensive scheme getting scoring production from Paula Hernandez who nearly had a double-double as she led all Lady Eagles scorers with 10 points and also led the team in the rebounding department with 9 boards. The Lady Eagles trailed by 12 points at the end of the frs half.
In the second half the Lady Eagles continued to attack offensively getting scoring contributions from Cristabel Martinez who tallied 8 points in this contest, McKayla Hernandez helped out with 6 points while teammates Brooke Diaz and Cecilia Guerrero each pitching in with 3 points apiece with Diaz and Guerrero also helping out in the rebounding Department with 5 boards each. But the taller home standing Lady Bulldogs began to dominate in the paint taking advantage of their height differential to come away with the 55 to 32 victory over the Eagle Pass Lady Eagles.
