Westmoore looked ready to roll. Then it looked sluggish.
It was likely the result of a grueling three-day tournament last weekend, and it nearly cost the Jaguars.
Yet, No. 3 Westmoore still found a way to hold off No. 10 Norman North for a 64-55 victory Tuesday night.
“I think there was a little bit of fatigue,” senior guard Jessi Murcer said. “But we had a lot of energy and hype coming into this game.”
Westmoore led by as much as 17 in the first half, looking like it was well on its way to a rout.
But Norman North, which hadn’t played in 10 days, recovered in the second half. Behind Lindsey Waters and Jessica Evans, the Timberwolves were able to close within six late in the game.
But the combination of Murcer, freshman Kendra Gillispie and junior Kamy Carter worked to put the game away with free throws.
Murcer scored a gamehigh 22 points.
Gillispie finished with 19 points and five rebounds a few days after hitting the winning shot in the Lady Jaguar Classic title game.
“She’s getting better and better every game,” Murcer said. “By postseason she’s going to be great. She’s been showing up when we need her, and that’s important.”
