Cubettes surge past Lake Creek for third consecutive win

Brenham shook off early turnovers and used a dominant second quarter to pull away for a 48-24 win over Montgomery Lake Creek on Friday night, moving the Cubettes to 3-3 in District 17-5A.

Brenham never trailed after an early 7-2 lead, but turnovers allowed the Lady Lions to rally 10-5 and tie the game at the end of the first quarter.

Senior forward Antyiahna Lang sparked the Cubettes early, scoring six of Brenham’s 12 first-quarter points and finishing with a team-high 14. She added eight points in the fourth quarter to help seal the victory.

The turning point came in the second quarter, when Brenham’s defense held Lake Creek scoreless for a 6:11 stretch. After being tied at 12, the Cubettes doubled up the Lady Lions at the basket and went on an 8-0 run to take a 24-16 halftime lead.

Junior guard Daliyah Richard kept pressure on Lake Creek in the first half, going 4-for-7 from the free-throw line and adding a 3-pointer as part of a nine-point night.
