WACO — The Waxahachie Lady Indians clung to a 2-point halftime lead, but a cold spell in the third quarter proved costly as the Lady Indians dropped a 51-40 decision to Waco High on Tuesday night in District 11-6A play.
The Lady Indians took a 14-11 edge after the first eight minutes, and emerged after a defensive second stanza with a 19-17 advantage. However, the host Lady Lions went on a 17-7 run to take control of the contest.
The Lady Indians (8-16, 2-6) were idle on Friday after agreeing to postpone their game against 6A No. 1-ranked DeSoto to Feb. 11 to allow the Lady Eagles to compete in the ESPN Showcase in Minnesota. They will host Waco Midway on Tuesday at Mike Turner Gymnasium at 6:15 p.m.
