On Wednesday, October 26th the Lady Longhorns opened the 2017-2018 hoops season against Mountain Home.  The Longhorns were looking to start off the season where they left off from the 2016-2017 season.  Early in the game it was very apparent that the team had great chemistry and the season was going to be one to enjoy.  The Longhorns jumped out to an early 5-2 lead at the end of the first quarter.  In the second quarter, Lone Star extended the lead to 11-4 but then things tightened up as Mountain Home rallied to tie it 13-13 going into half.  Mountain Home continued to gain confidence in the 3rd quarter and held Lone Star scoreless but still only led 17-13.  It was apparent defense was a big part of the game for both teams.  In the 4th it was back and forth but ultimately Mountain Home kept the momentum and ultimately won the game 25-18.  Last year the same two teams played and it ended in much more of a lopsided loss for Lone Star. It was a great first game which showed the potential of the team.   All players contributed whether it be on offense or defense.  6 of the 8 players scored with Breanna C. leading the way with 7 points.  Nice job and good luck the rest of the way, Coach Rigsby.
