After 2 week layoff from Christmas break and missing Holiday tourney in California, Argyle played an up tempo style of play against the pressure defense of Kennedale and shot surprisingly well following the lapse. Argyle’s last game was a win over Waco Midway on Dec. 21.

The Lady Eagles were 24 of 28 from the line tonight in a 72-38 win at Kennedale. Kennedale’s pressure defense left Argyle wide open inside, with Vivian Gray scoring 37 on the night.
Madison Ralston converted against the full court press, scoring 13. Sophie Betzhold was strong at the right block for 10 points. Jocelyn Pierce added 8 and Gabby Standifer 4.
