BULLARD — In the District 15-3A opener, the Bullard Lady Panthers defeated the Van Lady Vandals 49-46 at Bullard Gymnasium Friday night.

Natalie Gray, Kanda Carter and Hillary Philpott led the Lady Panthers with 13 points each in the win.

Van opened the game and took an early lead. The Lady Vandals finished the first quarter with a three-point lead.

In the second quarter, the game became more physical, but Bullard was able to take the lead. A quick assist by Natalie Gray to Hillary Philpott for a quick lay-up gave the Lady Panthers the edge, placing them over Van 12-11 with 7:00 left to play in the half. The Lady Panthers were able to head to the locker room at halftime with the lead.

The game continued back and forth throughout the second half, with a Lady Panther always ready to step up and get the job done.

“That is what you have to have,” said Bullard head coach Greg Gay. “We don’t have the big post that you feed the ball in to, so our guards know they’ve got to put the ball on the floor, penetrate and make things happen.”

Gray stepped up late in the fourth quarter and turned up the heat. With 1:10 left in the period, she made a three-point shot to tie the score, 46-46. Sarah Welling drew a foul on a defensive rebound to place her on the free-throw line where she was able to add to the score, giving Bullard a 47-46 lead. Carter was also able to draw a foul placing her on the line with 30 seconds left in the game.

Van was unable to secure the ball to close the three-point gap, giving the Lady Panthers a win in their first district game of the season.

This first win adds to the confidence the girls need to carry them through the season.

“It (the win) gives us a big edge,” Gay said. “You win your first district game, that’s big, especially on your home court.

“We had a 10-point lead and blew that, we got down 10 and fought back. That is twice now, we have come back against them.”

The Lady Panthers take on Chapel Hill Tuesday in Chapel Hill at 6 p.m.

It was just like old times, Jacksonville and Palestine teams going to toe-to-toe, eye-to-eye on the hardwood court.

This time it wasn’t a district matchup, just a good old fashioned grudge match. Jacksonville teams swept all games played in packed gym Tuesday night.

Tempers did not flare between the heated rivals, but they almost did. But that’s all part of the history between the two schools.

The Jacksonville Maidens overcame an earlier deficit to win 54-33 while the Indians won 71-57 with a second half rally in varsity boys action.

The homestanding Jacksonville teams also won all sub-varsity games.

Maidens 54, Lady Wildcats 33

“Jacksonville and Palestine is still a rivalry, mainly due to the close proximity of the towns and the level of play of the athletic teams,” Maiden head coach Tony Harris said. “Palestine has been successful, so that brings out the best in us. To measure how well we are doing, we have to play teams like Palestine in order to get ready for district.”
