"You've got two teams that get after it and aren't going to lay down Luxury Watches let you do whatever you want. There were a lot of bodies flying around. That's an indication of the effort from both teams. We're used to physical play so that's not a problem for us." The crowd and emotion lifted the Discount A.Lange & Sohne early on, and Carrollton held a 9-7 lead midway through the first. But West Central fought back late in the quarter to go up 13-9 after one. Cassidy Kaufmann keyed the early comeback with six first-quarter points. "Cassidy made some amazing drives," Discount Alain Silberstein said. "I think that really helped us out -- our drives and our outside shooting, because they were doubling down and we can't always get it inside." The Lady Cougars started to take control in the second quarter with a late Discount Baume & Mercier run that gave West Central a 27-14 lead at halftime. Despite holding the lead at the half, Bettis felt the offense sputtered a bit in the first half. "They did a great job last time of kind of bottling up the inside," Bettis said. "So, we couldn't do what we normally try to do. We fought through it and built that 13-point lead at the half." Carrollton started the second half with a 3-pointer from Adele Cook -- which ignited a 7-0 run to quickly cut the lead to six. Bettis called a timeout to halt the run and from that point forward, West Central took complete control of the contest on offense and defense. West Central answered with an 8-1 run and held Carrollton to just 12 points after the initial Carrollton run. "I think we played really good defense," Bettis said.
