SPARTANBURG, S.C. – The first trip through the Region 3-3A schedule continued Tuesday evening as the Broome Centurions hosted the Chapman Panthers. The two sides battled from start to finish, but when the dust settled, the Centurions emerged with a 56-51 victory.
A Chelsea Fleming layup keyed a 10-4 run for the Centurions over the first four-plus minutes of the game, which also featured a pair of shots from Reagan Lee. Chapman answered by scoring six of the last eight points, as baskets from Annastyn Smith, Kara Twitty, and Kamryn Thompkins trimmed the Broome advantage down to 12-10 after one quarter of play. Twitty tied the game at 12 early in the second quarter before a Lee three-pointer put Broome back in front on the ensuing Centurion possession. Later, nine consecutive points by Smith and a Rylan Ivey corner triple over the last 4:42 of the frame made for a 26-23 Panther advantage. Trailing by three entering the final stanza, consecutive baskets by Dakota Mitchell sparked an 8-0 run out of the quarter break for Broome, which staked the Centurions to a 44-36 lead with less than seven minutes to play. Anaya Wofford also knocked down a pair of close range shots during the run. Back-to-back baskets from Ivey and Smith cut the score down to 44-43 with just over four minutes left. Two shots by Lee keyed a 7-2 burst for Broome and extended the lead to 51-45 with 2:29 to go.
