The Evanston High School girls’ basketball team closed out the non-conference portion of its schedule last Friday by giving one of the top teams in 3A all it could handle at Red Devil Gymnasium, taking No. 5 Lyman to the wire before running out of steam, 48-45.
“I thought we played well – we gave it a good performance, as far as moving the ball, and trying to be aggressive, not sitting back and letting Lyman dictate their game plan,” said EHS head coach Steven Neal. “Unfortunately, we had too many turnovers and too many missed free throws to come away with a win. We still have mistakes that we need to fix, things we need to get better at, but the girls gave a really good effort against a really good team.”
The Lady Devils (2-10) matched Lyman’s aggressiveness from the jump, not allowing the quicker team to use their speed to their advantage. The Lady Eagles (11-1) led 10-8 after a quarter of play, though Evanston outplayed the visitors in the second quarter, and led 24-22 at the half.
