The Lady Greyhounds drained seven three-point shots in the first half and used a suffering zone defense to get out to a big halftime lead and never looked back.
“They’re so tall and long. They run that 2-3 match-up zone, and it just made it hard for us,” Navarro head coach Darrell Harborth said of Boerne following the game. “Offensively, they shoot the ball from eight steps behind the three-point line. They’re number 10 and deserved of that.
“We’re gonna get back to work and get ready for Wimberley on Friday and see where we end up for the playoff run.”
Tegan Harborth led the Lady Panthers with 10 points. Navarro is in third place in the district at 7-4. The Lady Panthers will wrap district play at Wimberley on Friday.
