Dover rally not quite enough against C-D

Dover’s comeback attempt came up short Saturday and it saw the Lady Longhorns’ win streak come to an end.

Covington-Douglas held off the Lady Longhorns late to preserve the 4641 road win.

The Lady Wildcats got up 12 points by the end of the first quarter.

Dover commenced to outscore Covington-Douglas in each of the final three quarters, but not by enough to overtake the lead.

It included a 12-7 run in the third quarter where Hope Caldwell scored all eight of her points.

That quarter pulled Dover within six points, but the visitors were largely able to keep pace in the fourth.

That was due mostly to Elli Garcia, who scored 10 of her team’s 13 points in the final quarter. She ended her night with a game-high 21 points.

Katleyn Harviston scored 10 of her 15 points in the second half.

Karlee Harviston added 13 points.

Dover had won two in a row entering the game. The Lady Longhorns are now 4-8.
