For the fourth consecutive year, the Fairfield Lady Eagles knocked-off the Hitchcock Lady Bulldogs in the Regional Semifinals. This year, the Lady Eagles took a 46-33 win over the Lady Bulldogs at Conroe High School on Tuesday night, Feb. 18, to advance to the Regional Championship.
When asked about defeating Hitchcock for the fourth straight year, Coach Sally Whitaker said, “It’s really hard to continue to be successful after having to play the same team year after year, so I am proud of our team for being able to handle success.” Hitchcock came out and battled it out with Fairfield in the first quarter as the Lady Eagles led 17-13 after the first quarter of play.
The Lady Eagles put 14 points on the board in the second quarter and held the Lady Bulldogs to just a basket and a pair of free throws to increase their lead to 3117 at halftime.
