Lady Dragons Comeback and Beat Arkansas High Tuesday Night
Genoa- Fast forward to the second-half where Genoa was trailing Arkansas High by 14 points early in the third quarter, but the Lady Dragons had a lot of fight in them Tuesday night, as they erased the deficit and won the game at the end 58-56 on a huge game-winning shot by Ali Pierce with 9 seconds remaining on the clock. Coach Kidd after the game said, "Really proud of this group tonight, they continued to fight." 

Ali Pierce, who hit the GW shot finished the night 14 points. Brenley Ward scored a team-high 21 points. Ward also had 5 assists and 2 steals, as she was very efficient all game. Jessyca Thompson poured in 13 points, including four 3-pointers as she channeled her inner Caitlin Clark on Tuesday night. Kelsie Fowler dominated the glass, as she grabbed 12 rebounds. 

The Jr. Lady Dragons started off rolling and cruised to a 46-23 victory, as they have been very impressive this season. Lilly Armstrong scored 11 points and grabbed 10 rebounds. Ten different Lady Dragons scored in this game and they racked up 22 assists in the game, as the ball movement has been great.
