JV Girls defeat China Springs, lose to Mexia

Buffalo’s junior varsity girls had the bad luck to play Mexia three times in one week. Buffalo hosted Mexia for non-district games on Tuesday before both teams attended the Groesbeck Tournament over the weekend. The Lady Bison met Mexia in pool play on Thursday and again in bracket play on Saturday. The Black Cats were overpowering with a physical full-court press in every match-up. BHS sandwiched the meetings with a win over China Springs.

On Tuesday, Mexia won 48-18 over Buffalo. Raven Lott scored ten points. Courtney Cunningham meshed 3 points. Zelneisha Lockett and Haley Ellison each managed a bucket. Emily Grissett tacked on a free throw.

Thursday’s matchup was more of the same except Mexia had pulled three freshmen from their varsity squad for the tournament. The Lady Black Cats scored a 45-16 win over Buffalo. Ellison and Lott each scored five points for the Lady Bison. Grissett popped in four points, and Kylan Armstrong scored two.

Buffalo defeated China Springs in pool play on Thursday, 31-14. Lott exploded for twenty-four points to lead all scorers. Cunningham nailed a three while Grissett and Angeles Valles-Villa each netted two.

Saturday’s contest was a lopsided affair as Mexia continued a full court press throughout the contest. The young Lady Bison struggled with the pressure and gave up a 67- 18 loss. Lott totaled six points in the outing while Cunningham and Grissett added four each. Lockett and Bri Walker each scored two.
