Lady Warriors Lose to West Forsyth in the Final Seconds

Sports, Team FYN Sports

For three quarters, the White County Lady Warriors dominated. However, the West Forsyth Lady Wolverines pulled off a miraculous comeback to win the game.

The Lady Warriors were in control from the very start. It was a complete contrast to the close game last night, in which they lost to Lumpkin County. Maddie Futch was the leading scorer for White County with 16 points, as she was able to bully her way to the rim for easy baskets. Bentley Cronic also contributed 12 points to the effort. Meanwhile, Dasha Cannon scored 10 points coming off the bench. It was only one night ago that she left the game with an injury, yet she was able to contribute today.

White County ended the third quarter with a 48-26 lead over the Lady Wolverines. However, West Forsyth absolutely took over in the 4th quarter. They slowly decreased the deficit as the clock winded down. They hit an astonishing 7 three pointers in the quarter. Their last one made it a 55-58 game with under two minutes remaining. The Lady Warriors were unable to score on two possessions, both of which allowed West Forsyth to respond and take the lead.

With 15 seconds remaining, Dasha Cannon was fouled, and had a chance at the free throw line to perhaps give the Warriors the lead on a 1-and-1. However, she missed the first free throw, and West Forsyth got the rebound, and were able to run out the clock and win the game. The Lady Wolverines outscored the Warriors 33-10 in the fourth quarter. They scored more points in the 4th than they had in the previous three quarters combined.

For the Lady Warriors, they will have plenty of time to recuperate and improve on their mistakes before their next game. The next time they are in action is Friday, November 22nd, as they will be at home playing Habersham County.
