The South Central Lady Cougars got out to a quick start and then held off a second half charge by Martinsville to get a 54-49 win in their season and home opener on Tuesday night. South Central was able to get out to a 13-5 first quarter lead as a balanced scoring attack had the Cougars rolling. Martinsville would pick up their scoring a bit in the second quarter, but again South Central used their balanced scoring to outscore the BlueStreaks 13-10 in the quarter and take a 26-15 lead into the halftime break. Martinsville began to push back in the third quarter and would outscore the Lady Cougars 18-16 , but South Central would continue to hold a nine point lead, 42-33, at the end of the quarter. The BlueStreaks made it interesting by again outscoring the Cougars 16-12 in the fourth quarter, but South Central was able to hold off the late comeback attempt from Martinsville for the 54-49 win. South Central starts their season off at 1-0 and will play their first National Trail Conference game of the season already on Thursday when they travel to North Clay.
