SECOND HALF SURGES PROPEL HARRISON

It’s not how you start, but how you finish. On Tuesday night, both of the Harrison senior basketball teams finished well. The Lady Goblins dominated the second half for a 50-34 victory over Siloam Springs while the Goblins did the same in a 70-54 win. Senior Girls Harrison lit up the scoreboard in the second half on its way to a 50-34 win over Siloam Springs. The Lady Goblins entered the second half with a slim, 23-22, lead that didn’t last long. Siloam Springs scored the first two baskets of the half for a three-point lead. The Lady Panthers would get only two points the rest of the period as the Lady Goblins began a 19-2 run. Briley Due opened the run with a 3 from the left wing which was followed by a steal and a layup for Mckenzie Glenn. Due would score in the paint before Siloam Springs went to the free throw line for its final two points of the third quarter. Harrison continued to build its lead as Brylie Parker grabbed an offensive rebound and score before Due converted a three-point play. Parker knocked down a triple to give the Lady Goblins their first double-digit lead of the night at 38-28 with 1:41 left in the third. Glenn scored the final four points of the quarter, giving Harrison a 42-28 lead with 8 minutes to play. Scoring slowed in the fourth quarter for both teams, but Harrison never let its lead slip. Due and Glenn each picked up easy baskets while Siloam Springs hit just one shot over the first 5 minutes of the fourth quarter. Two foul shots from Due made it a 48-30 affair. Back-to-back buckets from the Lady Panthers would only trim the lead to 14 points with 1:55 remaining as Harrison added the final bucket of the game on a Maddie Wyatt jumper. The Lady Goblins got seven points from Due in the first period for a 13-10 lead. Peri Knight picked up the Lady Goblin offense in the second quarter with six points as Harrison held a 23-22 lead at the break. Due led Harrison with 19 points. Parker added 12, Glenn eight, Knight six, Alicia Auman three and Wyatt two.
