CENTRAL STORMS PAST LADY GOBLINS

The Harrison Lady Goblins ran into a juggernaut in the finals of the Lendel Thomas Classic on Friday night. Little Rock Central claimed the senior girls title with a 59-38 win over Harrison. The Lady Goblins got off to a good start with the opening score of the game coming on a 3 from Briley Due. Less than a minute later, Brylie Parker added a trey and Harrison had a 6-2 lead. After two baskets from Central tied the game, Due scored on a driving layup along the baseline to give Harrison a two-point lead. Central would then score the next seven points to pull ahead to a 13-8 advantage. Harrison hung tough as Alicia Auman scored for the Lady Goblins and McKenzie Glenn hit a triple to knot the game at 13-13 with 8:40 to play in the first half. Maddie Wyatt answered a pair of Central free throws with an offensive putback to tie the game one last time at 15-15. Central then scored the next eight points before Due would hit a free throw for a 23-16 Central lead. The Lady Goblins would fall behind, 30-16, before a jumper from Parker ended the Harrison cold spell. Central held a 32-18 lead at the half. Harrison climbed back into the ballgame early in the second half. The Lady Goblins got a 9-3 run to begin the half. Due hit a technical free throw before Auman sank a jumpshot. A pair of inside baskets from Due sandwiched a jumper by Peri Knight as the Lady Goblins pulled within 35-27. That was as close as Harrison would get as Central made a run to push its lead to 47-29 just 5 minutes later. Due finished the game with 11 points for the Lady Goblins. Parker added 10, Auman eight, Knight four, Glenn three and Wyatt two.
