Madison Rogers kicked off a 16-point scoring drive in the fourth quarter for the Bulldogettes Tuesday night, but the last minute push wasn’t enough and Coahoma lost 43-26 to the Anson Lady Tigers in 5-3A District action.
After Coahoma was held to just 10 points over three quarters, Rogers, a freshman playing in her first varsity game, nailed a 3-point shot with 5:46 left in the game. That action ignited a fire under Coahoma.
Paige Atkins followed by sinking the ball for 2 while being fouled. The Coahoma senior then successfully converted the the free throw to add one more point. Rogers struck next burying a second 3-point basket followed by two more field goals. Cassie Grant ended the night for Coahoma by dropping in the last basket from behind the arc.
Rogers had a game high of 13 points for the night.
