quickly in foul trouble. Tasha Roy and Deena Hitt fouled out and Sherron Boddie and Susie Dearing finished the fourth quarter with four apiece.
After the game Panther coach Renee Leake said, “I’m very pleased. Even though the 58-40 score doesn’t show it, these girls did everything they needed to do - except shoot the ball more."
Coach Leake was also happy with only turning the ball over 17 times, down from the previous giveaway total of 58.
In the opening minutes of the Central game Rappahannock made a couple of smart plays and stayed even with the Falcons. Then the Panthers started rushing their passes and allowing Central to convert turnovers into easy buckets. After one period of play RCHS had 18 turnovers and trailed 11-5.
Boosted by the Panthers’ generosity Central started shooting with confidance. Rappahannock managed to get most of the rebounds but failed to keep the ball for long. Rappahannock's ball handling woes got worse early in the second quarter when point guard Susie Dealing drew her fourth foul. Central led 2411 at intermission.
Central continued to capitalize on Panther mistakes in the second, half and finished with a 58-32 win.
Coach Leake was emotionally drained after the loss. “We have the potential to win every game, but until we can get five players working together on the court, we’ll continue to lose. At this point I don't want to play any more home games. We play much better on the road. And if the team would just play half as well as they practice, we’d be undefeated. Something happens to this team when they put on their uniforms. They change. Their minds certainly aren't on basketball,” she said.
RCHS had 53 turnovers, double the Falcons total of 24. The Panthers continued to rebound well, finishing with 30 led by Boddie’s 16 and Tasha Roy’s 13.
The Junior Panthers also lost both of their games, dropping their record to 1-3. Rappahannock managed only two points in each of the first three quarters against Page and fell 45-11.
At the half versus Central the junior cats were only down by one, 1110 and threatening. But Rappahannock started the second half flat and were buried by the Falcons’ 11-0 scoring drive. Emma Swatman scored the Panthers’ next seven points before fouling out, and RCHS lost 35-19.
Rappahannock’s next game is at George Mason on September 7.
