On Friday, Dec. 16, the girls made the trip south to Bow and struggled to get points on the board. Newfound scored only three points in the first quar- ter, but was still in the game, as the Falcons managed only eight points in the quarter. The Bears had a number of steals and layups but they couldn’t finish and they also had three three-pointers that went in and out of the hoop. “The defense was good, but the offense wasn’t clicking,” coach Karri Peterson. “We kept bobbling the ball and just couldn’t grab onto it in order to finish.” The Bears trailed 18-9 at halftime, but they were able to cut the lead to six in the third quarter,but they couldn’t con- vert from the free throw line, hitting just one of six and fell behind 30-18 at the end of the JOSHUA SPAULDING quarter.
