A huge fourth-quarter that saw Tecumseh outscore Greenon 17-4, allowed the Lady Arrows to gain another victory last week, rolling to a 72-55 victory over the Lady Knights.
The Lady Knights battled Tecumseh closely for three quarters, and led at the end of both the first period and the half.  "We weren't playing defense like we usually do, and Greenon was doing a good job hitting their shots," Tecumseh coach Danielle Thomas said.  "We had some turnovers, and they took advantage of it.  We knew we needed to pick things up in the second half."
Tecumseh came out in the third quarter and put pressure on the Lady Knights, and used a trip of Miranda Mougey three-pointers to take a slim lead heading to the fourth.
"Those were big shots for us," Thomas said about the Mougey shots.
In the fourth, the Tecumseh press started to wear down the Greenon attack, and the Lady Arrows started to pull away.  Tecumseh outscored the Lady Knights 17-4 in the fourth period, and pulled away for their thirteenth victory of the season.
"We started to wear them down, and Bianca took over," Thomas said.  "She distributed the ball well while still looking for her shot."
Chelsey Davis led the Arrows in the fourth quarter with 10 points, several of them from Quisenberry passes.
Meanwhile, the Lady Knights only scored one basket in the final period.  "We looked for the smart shot, and our defense picked up their intesity," Thomas said.
Leading the way for the Lady Knights was Whitney Roninson with 15 points, and she drew praises from Thomas. "She is a smart player, and we knew we had to focus on her," the Tecumseh coach said.  "She hit seven of her points in the third quarter, but we did a good job on her in the fourth."
