Rogers High 58, Rogers Heritage 32

The Lady Mounties held the Lady War Eagles without a field goal for more than 14 minutes and rolled in the second half to the 6A-West Conference road victory on Friday night at War Eagle Arena. Rogers (12-7 4-3 6A-West) ended the first half on an 11-1 run and picked right back up with a 16-2 spurt to start the second half to take a commanding 37-18 lead after three quarters. Danielle Dickerson's basket with 6 minutes, 34 seconds left in the fourth quarter was Heritage's first of the second half to get the Lady War Eagles (4-15, 0-7) within 42-20. "I thought we just stayed really steady; I didn't think we flinched," Rogers coach Preston Early said. "They came out real hot in the first quarter, hit their first few shots. I just like the way our kids stayed the course. "We kept making things hard. Our players know how hard it is to play over here and win, and I just thought our persistence was big. I thought we really got after it and kinda smothered them defensively. I think it was big. It really turned the tide." Courtney Story led all scorers with 14 points, while Amber Covington added 11 for Rogers off the bench. Ally Figenskau added nine points and 10 rebounds. Heritage, which trailed only 21-16 at halftime, did not have a player reach double figures.
