Brownfield Lady Cubs leave Muleshoe victorious in regular season finale 45-40

The Brownfield Lady Cubs took to the road for their final game of the regular season as they took on the Muleshoe Lady Mules and defeated them 45-40 Things started off interesting for Brownfield as the Lady Cubs were going against full court pressure and struggled to get their offense going to the tempo they would’ve liked, meanwhile Muleshoe capitalized on this and started the game on a 13-3 run. During this run Muleshoe also elected to play four on four in the halfcourt choosing to face guard Rhianna Miranda. This caused some problems for the Lady Cubs till finally they were able to make the adjustments they needed to get some traction in the game. From that point on Brownfield would outscore Muleshoe 8-4 and go into the second quarter trailing 1711. To start the second quarter Brownfield would keep the momentum going with a 7-2 run to pull within one point of Muleshoe 19-18. The Lady Cubs continued to play well on the defensive side only allowing a total of 5 points in the frame as they went into the locker room with a 25-22 lead. Two minutes into the third quarter was when Jaelyn Molina finally got some points on the board for the Lady Cubs, but the Lady Mules would then score 5 straights of their own to tie the game up at 27. Brownfield endured a bit of a scoring drought during the third quarter before Kaylynn Fininen got t w o p o i n t s on the board quickly followed by a Molina three to give them a 32-27 lead. Muleshoe would stop the short 5-0 run with a three to make it a one possession game until Jaelyn Molina knocked down a mid-range jumper to end the quarter with Brownfield leading 34-30. Both teams to start the fourth were exchanging buckets on both ends of the floor as the pace and intensity picked up in the fourth. Alliey Coffee knocked down a three pointer to make it a 9-point game, but Muleshoe didn’t go away easily as they deployed their full court pressure once more to create a ton of Brownfield turnovers but fortunately for the Lady Cubs the Lady Mules were not able to capitalize on said mistakes only being able to trim it down to a 4-point Muleshoe deficit. The Lady Cubs would go on to win 45-40, the win helps Brownfield qualify for the Texas High School Playoffs and they will now wait to see who their next opponent is and where the game will be.
