While CPHS held all the momentum, the Lady Trojans never gave up and they battled back. They hit another seven points and managed to stay in the game. Gabbie Andrepont popped the net twice for four points, and Fontenot added a lay-up. The Lady Trojans went in at the half down 27-14.
In the third period, Heather Johnson hit a three-point shot, while Cloud and Fontenot each added a pair of free throws. Natalie Earles and Lauren Poche combined for a strong effort on defense to keep the Lady Trojans close.
Going into the final period, the local girls were down 24-45. Church Point iced the game with 13 points in the last block, while SHHS put up 14 digits. Andrepont ripped off two more baskets, and Poche pitched in with five points.
Poche led the team with nine points, while Andrepont was next with eight points.
