Every game means more than the last during the second half of district play.
Riding the high of completing the sweep of school rival Buda Hays last time out, San Marcos kept its momentum going Tuesday by shooting 4-4 from the field to start the game and establishing a 10-0 run over Austin High as the Lady Rattlers returned to their home floor for the first time since Jan. 12. Their 3-2 zone held the district’s No. 1 team scoreless for the first three minutes of the first and second quarters but the visitors found success utilizing their 1-2-2 full-court press to speed the guards up and force turnovers, leaving the first quarter tied at 15-15 by the end of it.
“They’ve got nice post play inside with Jade Clark. So we wanted to make sure and contain her, but we know they also have shooters on the outside,” head coach Veronda Kendall said. “And so that was just something we looked at as far as in-game adjusting, trying to contain their inside game but we knew that they had some girls who can knock down some outside shots.”
