San Marcos didn’t have the start they wanted Tuesday night.
The Lady Rattlers fell behind 46-14 at halftime and weren’t able to overcome the deficit. While they did hold Cibolo Steele to a 2926 second half, the Lady Knights ultimately prevailed 75-40.
“[Steele’s] huge and they’re able to score inside and outside. They have Mia Hammonds, who’s already signed as a division one player going to UTSA next year. She’s 6’3 — almost 6’4 — very skilled, and she blitzed us,” head coach Jermiane Ervin said. “She started the game with 21 first half points, finished with 29 and their team hit 10 threes. So if she gets 29, [and] they get 30 [points] off threes and we make one, there’s the game. Plus 10 missed free throws from us. You can’t play a team that good and give up what we gave up. So I told the girls that’s on me and the coaching staff to have better answers.”
