This past Tuesday, the Girls JV Basketball  team hosted Brighton in a non-conference matchup.  After a slow first quarter scoring the Eagles outscored Brighton in the second to pull within 4 at the break (16-20).  Alyssa Goldman scored all 7 of her points in the third quarter as the game remained close with the Eagles down 5.  In a defensive third quarter the Eagles were only able to muster a single free throw as Brighton went on to secure the win 44-33.  Sophomores Claire and Anna Linen scored 10 and 9 for Lakeland.  Freshman Morgan Dial chipped in with 6 while sophomore Aly Dahm added 3.   There were several bright spots for the Eagles especially how they handled Brighton’s full court press.  The ladies passed the ball well , burning Brighton for 10 points and forcing them to abandon the press.

Lakeland falls to 2-2.
