BROWNSBORO — Jacksonville split their games in Brownsboro’s Great East Texas Shootout Friday, nipping fellow District 14-4A rival Lindale, 37-35, before losing the nightcap to the host Bearettes from Brownsboro by a 33-21 count.

After trailing 17-13 at the break, the Maidens (8-8) had more success on offense in the second half as Jacksonville outscored the Lady Eagles, 12-9, in each of the final two stanzas. Freshman guard Sametria Baker sparked the Maidens with nine points and Amber Hawkins pitched in eight.

Chancii Scott and Jessica Hunter had six points apiece for the Maidens, also.

Jacksonville got three-pointers from Sametria Baker, Ashley Baker and Tanica Lucas-Clay in the game.

Lindale was led in scoring by Dayre Marsh with eight.

In Jacksonville’s final game Friday, the Indian girls fell behind 24-7 at the halfway point as the potent Bearette defense held Jacksonville to just six points in the opening frame and only one point in the second. The Maidens bounced back to outpoint Brownsboro, 14-9, in the second half, but it wasn’t enough to make up the first-half deficit.

Lucas-Clay and Ashley Baker each poured in five points for the Maidens.

Hillary Shaffer and Y’Niqua Mosley scored seven points each for Brownsboro (12-4).

Jacksonville returns to Brownsboro Tuesday with the freshmen starting things off at 5 p.m. followed by the junior varsity.

The varsity game should begin around 7:30 p.m.

Bullard previously knocked off Valley View (73-23) and Vidor (61-40) while falling short at the hands of Kountze, 85-81.

In the first game, the Eagles (9-3) used a big second-half effort, outscoring Parish Episcopal, 31-21, to notch the victory. John David Beard led Rusk in scoring with 14 points, including three shots from long distance. Kalen Skinner added nine and Taj Cleaver accounted for eight for the Eagles.
