Lady Dragons Start Conference 1-0 with a 46-38 Win Over Smackover
Smackover- The Lady Dragons headed to Smackover for their conference opener in a game with the Lady Buckaroos. Genoa started the game off with a 15-8 lead after the first quarter behind 7 first quarter points from Ali Pierce. In a back and forth 2nd quarter, the Lady Dragons took a 27-21 lead into the break. 

In a physical 2nd half, the Lady Dragons would outscore Smackover 19-17 behind 8 of Kelsie Fowler's team-high 12 points and capture an 8-point road win. Great team defense all game long from the Lady Dragons, as they held Smackover to under 40 points, as they continue to play really good basketball as of late. 

Fowler led the way with 12 points and Ali Pierce was the other Lady Dragon in double-figures with 10 points. Brenley Ward poured in 8 points, and Ashlyn Cross had 6 points. Brooklyn Cox and Jessyca Thompson each scored 3 points, and Kenzie Owen and Rylee Fike each scored 2. 

The Lady Dragons are back in action on Tuesday as they host the Taylor Lady Tigers.
