More on that in a minute. Lady Lions improve to 6-0 By BARRY
BURLESON The H.W. Byers Lady Lions did something they haven’t done in four years – beat Tunica Rosa Fort. Coach Jason Thompson’s team survived what he called “a slugfest” Tuesday night, Nov. 13, at home. They won 53-48 to end an eight-game losing streak at the hands of another group of Lady Lions. H.W. Byers improved to 6-0. “There was a lot of poor execution on the offensive end by us,” Thompson said. “In the fourth quarter, we took charge and were able to make some free throws to win it.” Byers outscored Tunica 18-10 in the fourth. “We knew they’d come in and play us hard because they had not lost to us in so long,” he said. “It was a tough game. We finally got that monkey off our back.” Leading Byers in the win were Simone Ryan with 14 points, Marian Parker with 11 and Rachel Jones with 10. In the boys game, H.W. Byers saw its early season record drop to 1-4 with a 69-60 loss to Tunica. Byers trailed 28-25 at the half. Marvin Rayford led the home team in scoring with 19. Fred Jones added 18.
