Lady Hornets Fall In Regional Semi-Finals

A return trip to Lakeland was not in order for the 2009-10 Cottondale Lady Hornets as they fell 47-37 on the road Tuesday night to Ponce De Leon. The loss came in the Class 2A Region One Semi-Finals and the Lady Pirates had advanced to that game with a 49-45 win over Graceville last Thursday. The Lady Hornets had been on an emotional high after upsetting rival Graceville with a last second shot to capture the District Championship on February 6th. Cottondale followed that exciting win with a solid 54-32 win over the Lady Royals of Jay last Thursday night. Kiki Paul and Shay Wright had the hot hands for the Lady Hornets in the win over Jay as they scorched the nets for 39 of Cottondale’s 54 points. Paul was hot from the outside as she nailed 6 three pointers on the evening, four of them coming in the first half. The Lady Hornets held a comfortable 11 point lead at the half.
