Special to the News-Leader
Everything looked good early for Blue Eye on Thursday at JQH Arena.
The Lady Bulldogs built a 7-0 lead over Ellington in their Class 2 girls semifinal of the MSHSAA Show-Me Showdown at JQH Arena.
But, the final score told a different story — a 68-58 victory for the Lady Whippets.
Ellington grabbed the momentum and never trailed again after wresting the lead away at 15-13 on a layup by Gretchen Hackworth early in the second quarter.
In turning the game around, Ellington had to solve Blue Eye’s defensive pressure.
