Late-week losses mount

News-Sun staff report

It was a rough latter part of the week for the county teams all around.

While the Sebring girls soccer team was taking a 3-0 loss on the road at Auburndale, Lady Blue Streak basketball took its' first loss of the season Thursday, falling 48-35 at Lake Wales.

The Sebring boys could not get the payback they were looking for, having fallen to Ridge at home a week prior, the Streaks again fell short against the Bolts on the road, 62-42.

And despite 30 points from Alex Coyne, the Lady Dragon basketball team couldn't get past Okeechobee Thursday.

Down one at the half, 33-32, Lake Placid had taken the lead early in the third.

That's when the Lady Brahmans ran off a 10-0 scoring run that proved just too much for the Dragons in the 65-60 loss.

The Lake Placid squad did end the week on a more positive note, easily taking care of Frostproof on the road Friday.

The Lady Dragons host Avon Park Tuesday in a district showdown, with the Sebring boys look to get back in the win column with a Monday contest at Lake Placid and a home date Tuesday against Hardee.

The Lady Streaks will be eager to atone for their lone loss, but will face a tough challenge on the road Tuesday at Kathleen.
