LEBO — Marmaton Valley High’s girls had trouble keeping up Tuesday evening.
Lebo High’s Brooklyn Jones scored 19 as the Wolves fended off the visiting Wildcats, 49-33.
Jones did much of her damage early and late, scoring seven in both the first and fourth quarters.
Lebo held a 14-9 advantage after the first quarter before the Wildcats clawed back to within 24-20 at halftime.
But the Wolves were able to stretch the margin to 37-26 by the start of the fourth quarter, then hit 5 of 9 charities down the stretch, enough to keep a safe working margin.
The sisters Ard paced the Wildcats. Kayla Ard scored nine and Aly Ard eight. Janae Granere had six.
Lebo also prevailed in the girls junior varsity contest, 12-3, in two quarters. Tayven Sutton scored two and Brynn Newman one for the Wildcat JV.
Marmaton Valley returns to action Friday against Yates Center.
